Default Do you wax your bumper?

Are we suppose to?
the other question i have is that
is it safe to wash a lip? considering i prep, painted clear coated myself.
It's very shiny now and i want to keep it that way, it is safe for waxing?
The wax in question is Gold Class.

you can wax anything unless it has been freshly painted, plastic or not. you should wait for at least 2 months before apply wax to anything freshly painted to allow the paints to cure correctly.

washing doesnt matter. but dont wash something until the paint has had at least 30 hours cure time.

i wax everything on my car... bumpers... doors.. i even wax my windows... help keeps the hard water spots off your glass.. and helps when it rains.... the only thing hard about waxing the glass is that its a long process.. but pays off in the long run.... and if you have and freshly paint car.. i have used this wax called fast wax.... not the bobo stuff you see people trying to sell in parking lots and stuff. you have to go to a paint store and get it is like $18.00 bucks for a small bottle but its good.... and its puts a nice shine on the car... once i do my car i'll post picks
