I just don't want 2 hours of crap falling on the vehicle before I do an AW wipe down...

Anybody?

I was told to leave nuba out in the sun after it's application/buffed off to let it sweat...no that isn't a good idea?

when using the term let it sweat.... are you saying to let the oils in the wax evaporate ?

Yes. Apply the wax and buff it off, and over the next 4 or so hours it would sweat anything leftover out. What I seem to be reading is that the sweating can go into the next day? I plan to use FG after the 4 hours but don't want ti to sweat the next day.

After I buff off the excess, I find spraying the whole car down with really COLD water (I stick a spray bottle in the freezer for at least an hour) and then buffing that off usually fixes the problem. Also, I usually use distilled water to reduce the chance of spotting.

Only thing I have had luck with, cold water and a soft waffle weave.
I actually feel the QD adds more material to the car to smear around. I've had it with carnaubas, they are dust magnets in the spring.
