how long should you wait for the first coat of wax when the car is brand spanking new??

i've heard that you should wait for the paint to air out or something.. and also that you should get the first coat on there asap.

..i did post this in the wash and wax forum but no one responded.. i pick the car up this weekend and want to know.. plus a co-worker has a new boxster that wants to know as well.

The finish was heat cured at the factory. You can polish / wax as soon as you are ready.

my opinion is that you should put some sort of protective finish on it asap... i enjoyed this so much that i had 3 coats of finish fist on mine within the first couple months!
