I wouldn't be surprised if the wax hasn't "cured" completely by this time even though you have yet to remove the hazed excess. I'd go ahead and wipe it off then just apply a second coat.

For future reference your process should go something like this:

1. apply very thin coat of wax
2. allow to haze for 15-20 minutes (check using the swipe test) and remove
3. wait approximately 12 hours and repeat steps 1 & 2 above

A lot of people don't have the convenience of being able to wait that long between coats, so applying the second immediately is really not a problem anyway.

wait, so i wipe off the excess and then wait another 8 hours?

****, so was i just wasting my time when i left all the product on the car?

Well, what you did wasn't the most efficient thing. No harm done though. You did lose some time. You're in a warm dry climate so you don't have to wait so long for the sealant to cure. I am in Indiana and I'm looking at a minimum 24 hour cure time with the cold weather.

Wipe off the haze from the first coat before you apply the second coat. You should allow the first coat to cure before you apply the second coat. 8 hours, maybe less, should be sufficient since you are in Cali. When you apply the second coat, you only need to wait about 15 minutes, until it hazes, before you wipe it off.

Similar time frames would apply if you are going to top it with Gold Class. You might like the NXT all by itself too!

...and it's been sitting for about 20hrs now in my garage and i'd like to apply my second coat now, but what exactly do i do?

should i apply the second coat on top of all the excess nxt, or should i gently buff until smooth and THEN apply the second coat?

how long should i wait after this to completely buff?

then how do I go about adding two more coats of gold class?

(if you can tell, school just got out and i have alot of free time to do a fulllll detail, woooop )

thanks,
