I will be waxing my car today, but it's also my daily driver. Is it ok to drive it around immediately after waxing, as long as it doesn't get wet, or do I have to let it sit for a couple hours for the wax to cure?

I will be applying a layer of Wolfgang DGPS 3.0.

If your applying sealant you need to wait before you apply wax.i wait about 12 hours between coats and waxing giving the sealant time to bond too the paint.

If you apply a sealant and wait 12hrs for cure time, should you rewash it again then apply wax?

Yea, I plan on adding a layer of nuba tomorrow.

As long as the car doesn't get too dirty, I believe just using a quick detailer should be sufficient.
