Just had my bumper and hood redone from stone chips. I wanted to put on a clear bra also, but they said I had to wait 60 days to let the paint harden. Just got it done, and not too impressed with the install.

It's no so much "settling" as the VOCs have to burn off. Had they baked it you wouldn't need to wait, but they obviously didn't (or couldn't bake it hot enough), so the gases need to burn off. Don't sweat it, the lack of wax won't hurt it and you can still wash it as normal.
