I have heard the reason only the higher end waxes do it is because they use oils instead of solvents to soften the wax. Sovlent evaporate no problem but oils require alittle more help.

a quick wipedown a few hours latr or a wash after a few days should solce the problem
Calgary got it right on. I have had the Vintage do this to me. Only problem is it usually happens after I drive it and it is in the sun but after driving it I cannot wipe it down until it is washed. One of the reasons I switched to Zaino years ago. I am playing around with QD'ing after waxing in hopes of eliminating it. I am also going to try to find a time when I can pull it out and bake it without getting too much dust on it.
