It all depends on the materials that was used. If you read the tech sheet on some of the material it suggest waiting until car cools down after being baked. We're talking about 2 hours out of the booth and you can cut and buff. Same brand may suggest waiting 190days to wax the vehicle. A lot of wax out there are full of silicone that doesn't let the paint breathe causing solvent popping issues. Wax is different from polish.
Some paint materials have you wait 16+ hours to cut and buff if you're just air drying.
It all depend on the materials, and you have to read the tech sheet. When you get your car painted you make damn sure you know exactly what materials were being used. That way you can look up on the internet to read the tech sheet on what you can do.
Example: http://www.matrixsystem.com/docs/tech/MS-42 TDS.pdf
Read on where it explains when you can polish. 1 hour after bake time.
There many other paints that you can look up.
The longer you let your paint cure the harder it is to wetsand. Creating more work for yourself.
