Not a fan of wax. Zaino or something similar is good and anytime 2 days after paint is fine.

Funny thing, had a conversation with a co-worker who does a lot of restoration work, his paint jobs are flawless, he said never wax a car because it traps contaminants on the paint. He uses meguiars show car #7 polish, I have to believe he knows what he's talking about. Just something to consider.
