I usually just put it on then as I've finished just go back round and start taking it off where I've started. I can't imagine it makes too much difference.

If you leave it on for to long it goes hard and cakes on so its difficult to buff off..I normaly leave it a good 10-15 min. Prob different if you use a machine pollisher but I dont so..

12 hours?! I don't even leave that between coats lol.

10 - 15 mins for Dodo is fine - although I'm sure I'm far to late with this reply!

Small spritz of Quick Detailer solves that problem

It won't harm it, tis fine, but I'd be buggered if I had to wait that long for wax to cure lol. Only 1 that wouldn't come off easily would be Collinite - it'd be rock solid after that sort of time!
