After 3 months your paint is fully cured, wait at least this long to wax.

You can wash your car immediately, being careful of course.

So if I took it to get washed at Hughes It will be ok to use the pressure wash?

If you're not an idiot, and if it wasn't done a Macco you'll be OK:D
Just keep the nozzle more than a foot away and make sure you don't leave waterspots on fresh paint.

personally i wouldnt wash it for a month, the clear may seem hard but it takes awhile for it to be fully cured just like dupont said.
