I waxed 2 weeks after I took delivery of the car. The car was painted approx. 01/03/2012, and I waxed it 02/13/2012.

I've heard about waiting a period to let the paint set/cure, but that was after I waxed it. I didn't notice any adverse effects. Paint (Carbon Black, no less) still looks pristine. I waxed it again in mid-08/2012, and I could tell a big difference in the appearance of the metal flakes and the way water glides right off compared to the times I washed it just before my second waxing.

I'm no expert on this, but that's my experience. If it were super important, you'd think they'd make a point to inform you of special care guidelines.
