New Paint Waxing
I am getting a new car this week, it was built a few weeks ago. How long should I wait before waxing it?
Thank!

That's a zombie from like 30 years ago with single stage paint about waiting to wax it. It's not been a thing for decades. If I were you though, I would tell your the dealer to not even wash it, treat it, etc etc make sure that they don't fool around with it that you're not aware of. I had mine do the PDI but not to touch the paint in any form or fashion. Just how I wanted my new car treated.

its fully baked in the factory. there is no cure time once it rolls off the line like you would get from a body shop where they can not heat it to the same temps and have a little bit of a curing time

Wax? What is that? lol
Ceramic is the way. Even using something simple like Adam's graphene spray coating is far more durable.

Thanks!
I have used ceramic coating on the bumpers and wheels in the past. I do like it, but I also still enjoy polishing and waxing. It is therapeutic.

I would suggest doing a two step correction then PPF the front end and rockers. Then a DYI ceramic. If you like the pleasure of waxing then use a topper after washing, I use Griots ceramic shine that's just as satisfying as waxing and you don't have to clean up every crack and crevasse of wax reside.
