Spoke to my brother,polymer chemist with the paint company that handles the vette plant. Ok to wax right away. Says the special clear coat used on the vette is easy to scratch for the first two months.

Great information. So, it must take several months to fully harden. Does your brother know if the paint used on the C6 is also (i) more prone to chipping the first few months and if it (ii) easier to chip than the paint used on steel bodied cars after fully curing?
