you'll get better/more answers in the car care section to this type of question. that being said... as the paint is "baked" at the factory, i don't think it'll do it a bit of harm waxing asap.

we did ours, picked it up on Jan 13th (last week) and we've waxed her twice already. GOD i love this car!

You can do it right now. Todays paint is dry and ready by the time it comes out of the factory.
