I think you are thinking of the "dont wax a newly painted car" thing Thats because the paint needs to breathe for a while to get rid of the solvents, no problem with older paint that has just been polished..

It doesnt make any difference with old paint. It was only cellulose that shouldnt be waxed straight away. 2 pack dries by chemical reaction so there are no solvents to escape. We wax Astons immediately.
