Default Should I wax my brand new S4???

I just took delivery last weekend. Should I put a coat or two of wax on it right away? What kind?

(I posted something like this in the Detailing forum and did'nt get much of a response).

Everyone has their favorite wax. Two I found amazingly good are:

Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax
Super expensive but quite amazing. If money is no object.

P21S Carnauba Paste Wax
Less expensive and probably as good. Frankly I think when I'm out of both, I'd go back to this since it's a lot less expensive.

Both are super easy on and easy off, last a long time and produce superb shine.

Default I say yes. I did mine 3weeks after taking delivery.

Car was delivered 3 days prior from port. Would have done it sooner, but it was too damn cold in December.

Default Yes - for a factory baked on finish there is little to no "curing" time for the paint.

I would not recommend doing clay work or polishes for a few months yet, but a protective wax job is an immediate requirement.
