It does not need to be pressure washed or wax during that 30 day time period. Reason being for not waxing it is because paint actually breath's. The solvent that is used in the paint is still evaporating for up to and around 30 days. If you put a nice coat of wax on it your actually preventing the paint from being able to release the solvents.
