  • Wax dry time

    What is recommended? I never knew, so I always wait about 20mins before removing wax(either nxt, or gc). BUT, I have heard of people waiting 2-3hours on this board. Can anyone give me a real time to let it dry?

    Thanks

          Yes, the cleaners/polishes dont need to dry. Any wax does need to dry to a haze. You can tell this by the Swipe Test in the last link.

          Now it is possible in a hot enough environment for things to dry quickly, but I do have a feeling you werent letting the product fully dry.
