Factory Paint Cure Time?

[shine]

How long is long enough to let the factory paint have time to cure, before applying a sealant or wax?

I just took delivery 2 weeks ago of my '10 ACR Roadster, and was going to wax it once it cured long enough.

Fatory paint does not need time to cure. It cures at the factory during the drying process. When your car is painted at the factory, it is painted in panels (disassembled). The panels are totally naked with nothing on them. Thus, the factory can dry them at much higher temperatures than you can once the car is assembled. The higher temperatures allow the paint to fully dry before the car is ever assembled.
