One of the managers where I used to work was a compulsive fanatic waxer, only waited three weeks, and really messed up the new black paint on his Toyota Celica Supra. Holographic swirls and worse. And it had even been run through a baking room prior to his picking it up.
Paints are better now than then, (late 80's) but at the expense of such a large job as a van, I'd follow the manufacturer's recommendations, and perhaps even pad that some.

Actually you will end up with Semi-gloss.

DONT WAX IT if there is no clear coat. | | |
