Just bought a new GMC pickup (silver) and I'm wondering if it's wise to wax it or should I wait a certain amount of time first?

Ask the body shop guy at your dealer to be certain. The paint on new vehicles is baked so it should be ready. Most dealers offer a glorified wax sealer as an option for delivery.

One can wax a vehicle every week if they wish. As long as water is still beading up you are just wasting time and money, however.

One thing, though - use a liquid or simmilar wax with zero abraseives in it. That basically means carnuba wax with little or no additives. I get this paste myself and it turns into melted butter after a few minutes in the sun.
Polymers work better on today paints however. They are a lot less expensive and easier to apply as well.
