Depends on the type of wax... Might be a serious pain to buff off in the morning.

I'd try it with Blitz...sometimes I take a 45 minute nap while I'm waiting for it to dry.

Don't EVER do this with zymol. If you don't rub it off almost immediately, it's permanent.

Default I finished it this morning - came off very easily
I think I'll have to do this next time, too.

Default Doesn't work for all waxes...
Some high end waxes like zymol, and pinnacle like to be buffed just as they begin drying. So you have to wax and buff sections at a time. Other waxes like Blitz can sit as long as you want them to.

Default Griots Best of show...Let it dry completely, then lay another layer- - >
right over the dry one... Richards suggestion.

I didn't care for the Griots however..I have a full bottle of Best of Show and Fine Hand polish sitting on the shelf.

Default According to Richard Griot- - ->
But it never really worked for me...I was a Blitz fan for years, until I tried Zaino...
