NTX Wax Question

I like this stuff, but have a question. The directions say let it haze. In my use, it takes forever to get a real dry haze. Do you wait for that, or take off after it gets just a bit milky? Thanks

You may be applying too much. Are you talking about it drying to a while chaulky haze? If so, you've put on too much. A nice thin coat dries quickly to a foggy/milky haze.

I assume that you're in a humid environment...

In that case, I'd really try to let it dry as much as possible but, if it's starting to get 'gummy' to the feel, you should be okay in my opinion although, you may experience some smearing or shadowing...

As an option, I'd recommend applying to the entire vehicle and then removing in the sequence that you applied to allow a little extra time.

DZ's thought is a good one too.... Make certain to apply in VERY thin coats.

It works best when you let it dry for a few hours IMO.

See, that is what I was wondering. When i applied, like i said it was not real dry after I did teh whole thing and waited a few minutes. So I took it off. Then later, there were a few places I missed, which hazed up real nice and came off easily. Thanks for the imput.

It's a common question and a lot of guys remove the wax too soon. It needs to dry up (haze) so it can be removed. If you remove it too soon the oils have not set. If you add a second coat, wait 24 hours and repeat.
