Wax or wait?

Would there be any reason why I should wait to wax my G37? I see that a lot of people have already done it but what's recommended. I'm thinking it's okay.

you dont buy a car without having the dealer prep it for you. cars are cleaned inside and out, buffed before you get it. do whatever you want because its your car, but useless to clay in my opinion.

you realize that the dealership removes the protective plastic sheeting and uses a chemical remover to get the adhesive residue off, does an initial prep before they put it out on their lot or showroom, right?

I would let the dealer just remove the plastic cover and don't clay/wash it. I can do that myself, you happy now?
