Re: When to wax a new Jeep?
I would sure be wanting to get a good coat on before salt season even if
the paint is still a bit soft. Some of those waxes at the car washes do
a little to help and you can go to a 'no touch' car wash.
If I was hand polishing, I wouldn't use power tools or buff it too hard.

Re: When to wax a new Jeep?
According to the Meguiars website:
"A new car with a factory paint job can be waxed the moment it is
rolled out of the manufacturing plant. Cars that have factory paint
jobs are cured at much higher temperatures, sometimes as high as 300
degrees in special baking ovens. At a factory level, the car goes
through the painting and baking process without any of the rubber,
plastic, and cloth components installed. This is why they can expose
the car and it's fresh paint to such high temperatures. These high
temperatures and special paints used at the factory level insures the
paint is fully cured by the time the car is completely assembled."
