Hey Burt... Found this over on one of the boards that I follow... It's not exactly the best news in the world for you but, I want to make sure that your paint doesn't have problems because you apply something too soon.... The worst part is that it comes directly from the horses' mouths... PPG, Sherwin Williams Automotive, Akzo, Dupont, and BASF.... these are the guys that are actually MAKING the products...

I just got my 1990 Geo Storm GSI (Don't Laugh - It’s a fun beater car) back from the paint shop.
The painter told me to wait at least 30 days before waxing, longer is better though. Also, he recommended using a non-wax polish until it's ready to wax.
He also stated you can wash it anytime!
