What is the general consensus on the cure time for Optimum Car Wax. It was applied immediately after drying the vehicle out of the sun.

Thanks

Cure time for what? OCW is a wipe on / wipe off product. Do not let it dry on the paint as it'll streak and be a PITA to remove.

If you are talking about a cure time to add a wax ... right away is fine as well. You can not add a sealant over OCW.

Thanks for information, I was referring to adding a carnuba on top.

In that case I would suggest spray a very fine mist of OCW on a panel and then apply a carnauba right over the OCW. Make sure that the OCW gets worked in so it won't streak, a little bit will do the trick. I do this to acheive a high amount of gloss yet it is still optically clear. It is my own personal 'spit shine' method.

I was going to say ... memory always serve you buff until gone on this product.
