How soon can you wax?

Is it safe to wax a new Civic straight away or should you let the paint cure for a while?

Brand new cars will have their paint cured just fine, if you appreciate that dealers can/will Supaguard a car that's just had it's PDI done.
But, there's no harm in leaving it for the first month and then attacking it with a clay bar as well.
