				 | i think the paint needs a month to completely cure before you can apply the wax and detergent to the paint.

				 | When I got my bumper painted, I was told a minimum of 60 days before waxing.  I had a friend who was told 30 days with his stuff. I'd leave it 60 days to cure before I touched it though.
