Allow me to explain why the paint is fine to wax as soon as you receive a new car. I would hate for you to pass this info on unless you can explain your answer. "Because The Junkman said so!" is NOT a good answer.
When a car is assembled at the factory, all of the parts to be painted are painted with nothing on them. That means that all the body panels have NO plastic, rubber or anything else on them. Because of this, these painted parts can be cured in a paint booth at temperatures that are much higher than can be used if the car was fully assembled. The temperatures used
will fully cure the paint. You do not have to wait any amount of time to wax a car when dealing with a car that is coming from the factory. An aftermarket paint job is a totally different story.
That's why it is safe to wax it right away. Now you know too.
