New Car Paint

My CLS will arrive in a week or so and have been reading here the best care techniques. I'm wondering if there is a recomended waiting period for the paint/clear coat to "cure" before proceeding with either a wax or protectant? My CLS was built 20 March.

No waiting period at all. The paint is all set the min it leaves the factory. Curing time esentially only applies to repainting now. Best of luck with your new car and hopefully you'll get it without the DISO.
