wait how long before waxing new paint job from body shop?

hey guys,

i just got my car back from the body shop where they replaced the left fender, front bumper and light assembly (my friend clipped the corner of my car pulling into spot in front of me). they repainted and blended those areas including parts of the hood. how long should i wait before waxing it? i've heard you should wait a month before waxing. but i'm afraid of letting the paint go unprotected while i drive around for that long, especially with front bumper. any thoughts?

Depends on type of paint, if they baked it or not, etc.

Why don't you ask the body shop?

Agreed. Ask the body shop that question. Each body shop uses diff methods for their paint work. Typically its at least 30 days to wait to wax or polish. Body shop will know.
