I'm not sure, but if you use Mr. Clean Autodry, you should wax it right after. I heard Mr. Clean Autodry strips away the wax...Mr. Clean's site says it doesn't...but *shrug*...

First use a strong detergent, such as Dawn, to strip off any wax and dirt on your box. Then us a clay bar to prepare the surface and clear it of any contaminants (such as rail dust and tree sap). Wash again. Then proceed with the waxing.

you don't need to wait. the paint is already cured. you can wax the car once you get it.
