Sorry to hear the news... Hate to see an amazing car treated like that.
Don't wax it for at least 30 Days.
You can wash it if you HAVE to before 30 days. But you really want the paint to harden.
It doesn't sound like you are very educated about car detailing..."Take it" to the car wash is a no no...

I didn't have to look to know you're a newyorker. Sorry 'bout the car. Unless you're in the 5 boros, you might think about filing a police report. This may not be the first time someone has damaged a car in that location, and suburban PDs are responsive to this crap, unlike NYPD. I'd be furious.
Besides the advice on washing and waxing, I'd say the best way to take care of that paint is not park in that damn spot any more, dude.

Sucks that it happened at all, but it really sucks that it happened so close to home. Hope you don't have a Lex hater living on your block. Good luck.
