Should I.....
...leave Carnauba wax on my artic white C5 over night? It says to let it dry to a haze. I realize it will be harder to take off but I should have one great shine. Have you done it?
I clay barred it yesterday and put on Show car glaze no. 7. Getting it ready for a winters nap!!!

Let it dry too much and you are right, it will be a real PITA to get it off.

Been there, tried it.....sort of. "East coasters" like me, probably remember Collinite paste wax. It was a "two step" wax, a liquid cleaner step, followed by a paste wax topcoat, similar to the original Simoniz, just a tiny bit easier to buff off. Thinking like the OP, I let a coat of Collinite sit for 3-4 hours. Buffing it off was like a big time workout at the gym......
