Brand new car how soon can I wax?

I just got my 335i E90 2 weeks ago. How soon can I wax the car? I hear different time frames from different people rangingfrom 3 months ,6 months and another person said ASAP . Id love to clean the old wax and apply a fresh one. Thanks

You don't have to wait, you can wax right away! But definitely clay it first!

As others have mentioned, the paint is fully cured from the factory by the time you receive your vehicle. Feel free to perform a complete detail as soon as you like. If you need a hand selecting any products, please do not hesitate to ask. Congrats on the new BMW!
