Default WAX or WAIT

Ive heard the myth, or is it true??, not to wax your car untill the paint sets or whatever... after 6 months. I got all my Zaino wax in the other day and am dying to wax it. My friend waxed his brand new car and the car's paint feels liek silk. Soo what do you guys think i got the car About 2 months ago. Is it too early or should i go for it.

Zaino is the best wax you can get, I got the complete kit and its amazing. I like the claybar to remove junk off the paint.

Untrue myth. Think about it that car was on a Ford lot with all kinds of weather abuse, and you want to wait 6 months to wax it. Dude, clay that baby followed by a good polish and then wax her (every week if you could)

There is a wait time of around 90 days after the painting process, but from ford that time has passed. Let's say someone hits your car, and you bring it it for repare. After the body shop repaints it, you would have to wait around 90 days for the paint to cure and set correctly. -So, it isn't truly a myth. -But, in your case you are fine.
