Default Paint cure question.

I read on the forum not too long ago that new paint shouldn't be waxed until it cures which happens under UV light. If all goes as planned I will be getting my Z around the beginning of new year. There will be no sunlight (if you know Seattle's weather you know what I am talking about) so I was wondering if anyone knows how long I need to wait until I can safely apply Zaino or any other wax for that matter.

Thanks in advance.

Just had my Nismo kit repainted (with PPG paints)

Body shop said to wait no less than 30 days and, if you mostly keep your car garaged, 60 days before waxing/Zainoing

Shouldn't matter if you keep the car outside and are in Seattle... UV cuts through clouds anyway. So, if you keep it outside, 30 days should still be good.
