Do not wax your car for at least 3 months (this will give the paint time to harden, if it is waxed before it is hardend enough the paint may crack, the pain releases gases while is hardens, the wax will hold the gasses in). I know this because my mom works at a body shop and that is the offical rule from the paint manufacturer.

I was told that if the paint was oven-baked on, you just carry on as normal with washing/waxing etc.....there is no time to wait.
