I ran a few searches and couldn't find any info on how long you should wait before waxing a new car. Do I have to let the paint cure or can I throw on a nice winter coat?

How's that? Took me about 15 seconds to find that, BTW.
And this should have been posted in the Car Care section.

Man, that sounds a little hostile, relax. It might also help if you let him know what you searched on instead of just slammin the door. He may have searched too broad or narrow and a good search example could help out next time.

Sounds like you need to relax. That was hardly hostile. I said it took me 15 seconds to find a topic on which he needlessly started. Not to mention, it was placed in the wrong section. There are rules here on what to post, and where to post it. Follow the rules and I wouldn't have needed to say a thing.

well thanks for the link. I'm not trying to create problems I just wasn't aware of a car care section. I guess my search skills aren't up to par
:worship:
still "a topic on which he needlessly started" is a little harsh. calm down.

Andrew, my original post to you was not hostile... just letting you know to put a topic in the right place and to try a little harder searching. No big deal. But when somebody sticks his nose in and tells me to relax, I'm not going to remain calm. Just not my nature. I apologize to you though for saying it was a needlessly started thread. That was a bit harsh. Understand that anger was not directed at you.

Again I would have to say RELAX. I just pointed out that instead of telling him where he should have placed this post, a little help finding the material so he would not have had to post would have been more helpful. I agree it has been answered before, several times (I asked a similar question in Aug when my car arrived). I agree it belongs somewhere else. I commented because he stated that he had searched and failed and you found it easily. Whatever you did differently, maybe sharing that info would be helpful. I for one can't always find what I am searching for either. A little insite from someone with a lot more experience like yourself would probably help a lot of us, not just Andrewplen.
As far as Stickingmy nose..... you posted on a forum for all of the members and the meanest thing I said was relax.

Ok children, time to behave.....just kidding. 
My guess is he only searched the 2005 area and not the entire forum, therefore he would not have gotten results from the Car Care section.
Anyway, Andrew, go ahead and wax it. The paint is already cured by the time you get the car. Don't forget to add some wax to your rims as well. If you are keeping the stock rims on it during the winter and here is a little tip for you. Place some vasoline around where the center cap meets the rim. Also where the wheel weight has been brutally slapped onto the rim. This will help keep salt and sand from getting into those areas. These are usually the first areas that start to oxidize.

Adrenalin, Thats a good thing to point out about the wheel wieght and the cap...... I had never thought about taking extra care to those areas....... just another reason this site rocks........ great help from great people........ Thanks.....
Being somewhat of a newbie myself, this site is alittle hard to search for someone who is just getting started with it. I made the same mistake as andrewplen, took my flamin and learned from it. I didn't hold any hard feelings, just chaulked it up to a rookie mistake. hang in there andrewplen, it dosen't take very long to get around in here.......
You'll find we all have a common bond in here called........ Mustang...... Hooraw!

A little tip when searching, make sure you search the entire site and not just the 2005 section, since this is not just a S197 site. Several topics, such as car care, are not in the 2005 section.
