I took in my car for some light body work, a few panels were repainted... How long should I wait before I wax my car?
 
This has been covered many times. The post considered most authoritative on this is here:

Bottom line, most paint companies say 3 months is a good idea. in the meantime the safest way to get some protection is with a body-shop safe glaze like Megs #5. It just won't have any the kind of durability you get from wax.
