Is 
 this true?
 My car was made in 3/00 and I picked it up at the end of April.  It's now 
 less than 2 months old.  Can I wax it yet?  She said she has seen wax take 
 the finish off of new cars if they were waxed right away.  Please advise...

New one on me...

The dealer waxes the car before delivery, so why can't you? True, you should 
give fresh paint (bodywork) awhile before you wax (I think my bodyman said 60 
days), but the factory paint is baked, so it is, for the most part, cured 
when you take delivery.
