6-months iirc.

The theory is that the paint needs time to cure and therefore is still soft for up to 6-months. Part of the curing process is also the evaporation of certain chemicals used in the paint itself and the painting process.

My understanding is that polish can scratch the soft paint and wax can seal he surface, thus not allowing the necessary evaporation of chemicals.

You can buy wax for new cars, which is supposed to avoid the problem stated above, but I am not sure who sells it. A Google may unearth a reseller.
