Waiting to Wax a New CarBy waxing a new paint finish you are trapping the solvents that have not yet evaporated. Trapping the solvents can lead to blistering, refered to as "Solvent Popping" Although a paint finish may dry to the touch in a short time, the paint does not reach its complete hardness until all solvents have escaped. For the first polishing, I recommend using a polish that does not contain wax or silicones. These products are referred to in the industry as "Body Shop Safe". 3M Imperial Hand Glaze is good product for this but requires a lot of elbow grease. It hides all swirls, rags marks, etc, but will not trap solvents.

How long do you need to wait to do a cut and polish after a new paint job on your car?

Depending on the paint manufacture(ppg, sikkens, dupont,) usually 24-72 hrs. Also if you baked the paint in a booth, or just air dried. The reason you wait is to let the paint gas off. What that means is let the chemicals evaporate and let the paint cure. If you fail to do this, the evaporation of the reducers will still be gassing off and will ruin all your time and effort. When in doubt read the directions, and the material data sheet from your paint supplier.

Will bleach ruin a car paint job?

Yes, but not directly... Bleach will remove any wax on the paint which will make it look dull or "swirly". If new wax isn't re-applied, the paint will fade from the sun and other contaminants in the atmosphere.
