Got a new bumper, freshly painted.

How long should I leave it before waxing?

Want to do a full body polish/wax in the not too distant future, but don't want to damage the fresh paint by not having any protection on it...

Easiest thing to do is to ask the painter how long you should wait. There are products which are safe on fresh paint eg Optimum Car Wax, 3M Imperial Hand Glaze etc but I would just ask whoever applied the paint about curing times
