Is it not a good idea to wax and polish such new paint?
I was told you should wait a season before applying wax. :unsure:

Well, I dunno where you heard this info and I'm not saying your right or wrong but think about it...regardless of how new a car is and its paint, road contaminants and dirt still get all over the place and need to be removed. Acid rain, winter salt, tar, bugs, etc will all fuk your paint up more than wax will. In fact, waxing will help protect the paint from all these elements and more....
Regardless of what people choose to do, I like my car to be clean and shiney and I highly doubt that waxing my new car will do damage.
Perhaps, just for arguements sake, lets say it is overkill to claybar and wax every week but, I do it as a job and have free access to professional cleaning supplies so I figure I might as well take advantage of free stuff especially with the nice-ass weather!!
Bottom Line---Washing, Claybarring, & Waxing your car is good!! No bad can come out of a clean car....
...except perhaps all the jealousy that you will encounter from all the people with dirty & faded rides!!! B)
..by the way...if you are spending 5-6-7+ hours washing, waxing etc...
YOU ARE TAKING FAR TOO LONG,,,
