Talk to the people at your body shop.
Depending on what they used it could be anywhere between 30 and 90 days.
About Five-Star, I've never used it.

There has been a good bit of talk regarding 5 Star Shine here. You might want to do a search while waiting for comments.
As for waxing fresh paint, certainly discuss with your painter before doing anything.

Yes, do a search. I will say this, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. There is NO WAY this stuff will last 5 years on your car. I highly dount it will make 5 months, probably about 5 weeks.
As far as polishing/waxing your new paint job. I do know if you are using Zaino you can go ahead and do it right away. I think Zaino recommends waiting 7 days. I have done fresh paint on my cars after 7 days with Zaino and have had no problems. Now a carnuaba product they usually recommend waiting approx 60 to 90 days since it will seal the paint and does not let it breathe or outgas.
