Default when should i do the first wax?

i've had my car for a little over a month now and haven't waxed it yet. i've heard people say to wait for a few months, but how long should i really wait? it was built 12/03.

The paint should already be fully cured when it leaves the dealer, so you should be fine.

actually, paints are 95%-99% cured when they leave the baking room, and can take several months before they are 100% cry.
