Question Production Date

I bought my car new last week and it is always best to wait 90 days to put the wax...
Now, I have questions about to Zaino my car or not? (since the weather is pretyt good here in N. Va)

Maybe finding out the production date can help me but how can i find that?

On the side of the door it should list the month and year in which it was made... about the day, im pretty sure you can find out by deciphering your VIN. I'm not too good at decphering VIN's though... maybe its in your owners manual? (I don't have an EVO, so I don't know)

Sorry im not much help

I zaino my car right after I bought it back in early april, so I would say it was less than 90 days since production, and I have no problem so far with the paint. I say just zaino it, the factory paint is so thin that it doesn't take long for it to completely dry out.

Driver's B pillar at the bottom near the rocker panel is the MFG.Label with the build month on it. Plus it's not like body shop repainting, the paint is cured generally before it leaves the factory.
