How long before first wax

How long did most of you wait before your first wax job? I have had my coupe for 2 months now. I was thinking around the 3 month mark!

Re: How long before first wax

If I understand it right, the car is on a ship for a while, not sure how long the trip takes, so by the time you get it, it is probably over a month old already, plus whatever time it may have sat on the lot, my last three vehicles were special orders, and I got them within a week or so of their build date, I waited two months to wax those, and it was fine!

Re: How long before first wax

The paint is baked, or cured, at the factory. You can wax it the minute you get it home.

Now, if you have to have a local body shop repaint part of it for some reason or other, there may be a delay before you can rewax that section. My body shop told me 6 weeks when I had my rear bumper replaced.

You can wax it now. The paint is cured at the factory.
