To protect or to wait after plastic interior paint?

[rvx290]

I recently finished painting my steering wheel from grey to black in my 06 F150 with Landau Black SEM Colorcoat (looks factory perfect so far.)

I let it sit and cure for 24 hour hours and it will be more than ready to be reinstalled, but what I am wondering is, would protecting it with an interior plastic protectant (like Natural Shine etc) be a smart thing to do, would it slightly promote the paint to adhere to the steering wheel, or do the opposite, or neither. or should I wait a few weeks?
It looks great and I want to do what ever I have to to keep it looking that way for as long as I can.

Being freshly painted. I would wait a few weeks then apply your protectorant.

Wait for at least 2 weeks for it to fully cure. If you havent installed it in the vehicle yet, put it into the sun to help it cure.
