Rain after waxing, zaino, AIO, etc.

All detail experts out there...

Does it matter how long the car sees rain after applying any carnuba or synthetics waxes in general? Does the wax need time to bond or can it be exposed to the elements immediately after a wax/zaino job?

Thanks.

As long as the wax has dried, you should be fine.

There are a couple sealants that prefer to cure dry for 24 hours, such as Menzerna FMJ, Klasse SG, Jeffs Acrylic Jett and a couple others, otherwise most of them are good to go as soon as you buff the reside off.
