How long should I let wax dry?

Under normal conditions, wax usually takes 15 to 20 minutes to set. To determine whether the excess wax has dried enough you can perform the "swipe test". Take your index finger and wipe it across the waxed finish. If your finger wipes away the dried residue and the surface below is shiny, then the wax can be removed. However, if you swipe the finish and the product streaks or smears, you need to allow a little more time for it to harden. One major misconception is that the more wax you apply at one time, the better.

Applying a thick coat of wax does not give your finish greater protection. Only a small amount of wax actually bonds to the finish during each application, while the rest is wiped away. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.
