I took delivery of my new X on July 12. According to the tracking system on the new owner page, it hit the factory paint shop on June 28, and therefore, the paint is about a month old. Does anyone know definitively how long one should wait to apply the first good wax, i.e., with carnauba wax? I know that fresh paint needs some time for "off gassing", and that the paint isn't really hard until that process is finished. Some say 30 to 90 days, others say longer or shorter, etc. Someone else said not to worry about it at all, that it's only the polymer paint sealants that seal the pores preventing off gassing. What's the real dope?

Thanks for your help.
