Matador after Zaino rubdown

1) I suck as a photographer.
2) The camera adds a dork, dunno why.
3) Disregard the relected pile of Christmas trash.

Treatment was as follows:
-Washed with Z7.
-Clayed with Z18 and the Z6 motion lotion.
-Mixed ZFX with Z2 (2oz)
-Applied ZFX+Z2 mixture.
Waited 30 min.
-Buffed with microfiber towel.

-Shined up with Z6.
-Tires dressed with Z16.

Question... 
I thought you were NOT supposed to wax a new car for at least 6 months or so to let the paint cure, harden or whatever. Yet, I see a lot of guys here on ClubLexus like yourself doing a complete process on their relatively new cars. 
What about this 6 month "waiting period" theory with a new car? A bunch of BS or what?
By the way, your IS looks friggin great man!!!

i just applied menzerna on my car... has anyone compared zaino and menzerna to see the difference? i also recomend getting an orbital buffer, and i mean a REAL one not the 30 dollar kind you see at pepboys. Made the process alot easier.
