the funny thing was when i picked up my car today they just installed the front lip and rear spoiler, and totally forgot to paint the side skirts and rear lip, so i will have to bring it back next week to install that~

LOL

but now the car looks great with the front lip, 10 times sexier

You can wax it right now. Washing it doesnt matter, you're just not supposed to wax for a month or so. And you can even do that if you really wanted to. Now days, paint doesnt take ages to cure anymore. :ibmovetowashandwax:

what katana said. if it's urethane you can wash it after drying overnight. just wait 4-6 weeks to wax it.
