Reapply and then remove....but yes you're going to be sore from removing that shtt when dried for a few days. You might get an epic shine though

There is no benefit to leaving a wax on for an excessive amount of time. If the wax was meant to be a wipe on, wipe off... or a wipe on, let haze, wipe off product and you let it completely dry, you are likely in for a lot of work. Some products are very forgiving and can be removed with little effort even 24+ hours later, but I don't know what you're using to so I can't even take a guess.

If you find it is a struggle to remove, you will likely do more harm than good by rubbing the car like crazy, so I would wash the car and hope that removes the excess wax if needed.

Good luck.

In this case I recommend chemical guys citrus wash. Detailed image sells them too! Good for washing off all the waxes before compound/polish.

I've been using nothing but concurs look's P21S. Sometimes I leave it on and forget to come back and always glides right off. If you haven't used it I highly recommend it.

P21S 100% Carnuba is best and only wax I use on my cars! Easy on and easy off and excellent durability.

was able to postpone the travel a bit to finish it.. it did however sit for about three hours..
for just that amount of time... it did take longer and more effort to buff as the others have stated..
