When to wax

How long should you wait before waxing a new TL? Some people have told me to give it some time because of the clear coat.

Wax away. Body panels on your TL were painted and cured before your car even hit the lot.

I agree, start ASAP. Make sure that paint doesn't get those fine scratches or lose luster.

That was true for older paint processes. Today all cars come off the belt with paint already cured. No need to wait for waxing.
