How long to let polish cure?

[DogRescuer]

I saw the same thing back in the late 70s/early 80s when I lived in Atlanta. Don't know if they were showing off or just letting it dry, but I could only imagine the dirt and stuff that would adhere to the wax, only to be rubbed into the paint when removing.

Thanks for all the replies.

It was to show off, it was gotti turf

Just curious when you say 'cure' is that what it says on the bottle?

Most of the products I use that talk about curing time they're referring to the time after it's wiped off. For example coatings must cure for a certain amount of time before you add a LSP or expose them to water, etc. And some glazes require 30 minutes of curing time before adding a second layer. But the curing is done after removal.

Yes, need clarification on what you mean by 'cure' and what you mean by 'polish'.

Davey has a point, most "polishes" are considered 'rub in, wipe off' with no curing time as there is nothing to cure.
