To be on the safe side I would wait a month, I remember a while back reading about the same type of question as yours, and most of the members suggested that he wait.

Paint shops normally will tell you to wait 60 to 90 days. I know when we had our z/hawk painted thats what they told us is no waxing or washing for 60- 90 days

There is no abrasives in Zaino. Do NOT use the Z-1 or the ZFX for at least 1 week, 2 weeks is even better. Actually, you can apply JUST the polish without waiting, some folks apply a coat before they leave the paint shop. Zaino is completely different than a wax. But I'd park it for at least a week and then start Zainoing away.

i can tell you from experience that it is ok to apply zaino right after you get the car back. no need to wait to wash or polish. i took my car home the same day, washed and polished it and was fine. wax, as im sure you know, is a diff story.
