It used to be you would have wanted to wait about 6 months before waxing, to give the paint ample time to cure. Not true any more.

I was always told 6 months, but that is probably just opinion based. The fact is, you always waited a while with a new car before you waxed it. I think I am old enough also -- born in 1960.
