Default Noob question

Spent the afternoon washing, claying and then polishing the car. Was going to wax it but it's abit late now and the wax I have will take a good couple hours.

Anyway, would it be alright to wax it tomorrow ? Should I go over it beforehand with something like a quick detailer to remove any dust etc or even rain dirt () ?

I've done this before. As long as it doesn't rain heavily and you aren't parked under a tree or anything that will leave general crap on the paintwork then I can't see a problem. I used quick detailer before as you said, just to make sure each panel is clean and debris free.
