You can wash with gentle soap pretty much right away but do NOT wax for at least 30 days or whatever your painter recommends. Reason is even though the paint appears to be cured and hard to the touch, it is still releasing solvents that can get trapped by the wax. This can cause adhesion problems down the road.
