a good body shop should have wet sanded it already before you picked it up.
As a rule 30 days before you can wax unless the paint was baked.

Megs #80 is a breathable polish also....Id go with either Megs Medallion Paint Protectant, Blackfire, Fourstar Platinum, or as a last choice, maybe Wolfgang....
