+1000. My paint guys says wait a few days before washing and DO NOT even wax it for awhile to play it safe. I didn't drive my car for a few days right after I got it back from the body shop.

Haha yeah...something about letting the clear coat settle or harden first before possibly "abrasing" it even with a soft wash cloth.

Unless you went off-roading right from the shop and getting dirt and mud in it then yes wash it. Otherwise a little airborne dust that naturally falls on the car for a few days is fine.

Yes OEM. No pics yet, haven't had the time. I still have to polish my wheels.

Look on the bright side, they're taking their time...Also, in this case, it's better than being early.
