new paint, when can I use soap

Just got my car back from the collision center. front fenders, front bumper cover and hood were all painted. How long should I want before I use soap on it? Also, can I use wax or spray detailers?

You can use soap and wash it whenever you want! Just don't wax it for 30-60 days

He is right. I would wait 60-90 to be absolutely sure it is set
