Hi all,
Someone ran into my 3 week old '05 325xi at the airport parking lot. I finally got the car back from the body shop. The quarter panel and trunk lid were replaced with OEM parts and painted very nicely.

Now my question is how long should I wait before I wax the car. The body shop told me to wait 5 weeks. but I have heard that you should give it 6 months before you apply wax on new paint. Any expert advice?

Thx,
CM
