You can wash it, just don't wax for at least 3 months.
yeah dont wax it, keep it protected in a garage if you can, wash it with a soft cloth, like a terry towel with just water or a little bit of soap. the car should be fine to sit outside though

Wash with microfiber towels. Do a search for ways to properly wash your car or visit Autopia - Car Detailing (Wash, Wax, Polish) Enthusiast Forum..

Don't listen to these guys, get a box of sos pads and wash it with the pads right away, if you dont the grease will deteriorate you new paint job.
JK, I didn't wash my car for 3 months, after the first wash (spray wash and rinse only) I waxed it and when I go to the car wash now all I do is spray it off and dry it by going 100MPH plus
