yes, you want to wax the car when you get it. it is ok to wax the car that day or even that week. the paint is already completely cured. if you don't get it waxed then you will have problems with the clear coat.
if you are in so cal you can bring it to my house and i can do it for you. if you just want it waxed with nothing else i will wash and wax it for $20

I use Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax liquid on my Polar White xA. It's pretty good. Once it's done, depending on what my budget is...I'll either order the 3-4 products I need from the zaino site, or buy another bottle of Tech Wax...
