The original subject was "Paint HardeningWaxing".
Recently had my F350 repaired at a body shop and was advised to wait 3 months before waxing the newly painted area. Larry (my auto body guy and friend) told me that waxing seals the microscopic pores in the paint making the curing process take longer. He said I can wash it to my hearts content but wait 3 months for any wax application to be on the safe side.
