I would block sand the primer with 400 grit, then wipe it down with
Paint Prep or similar product. Be sure your primer is compatible
with your topcoat. To be safe, it's best to stick with 1 paint
manufacturer. Be very diligent in sanding your primer; if it isn't
right, the paint will only highlight the defects.
Depending on the type of paint you use, you can color sand and
buff the topcoat or leave it as is. It's best to wait a month or so
after you paint before waxing it so that the paint can "gas out".
The wax will seal uncured paint and it takes a while for most paints
to fully dry. This will vary though depending on whether you're
using lacquer, enamel, urethane, etc. Check with the paint store.
Good luck.
