Depends on the conditions. I have found that NTX takes longer to cure than most other waxes.

But, here is a way to tell if the wax is ready The Swipe Test - Car Care Forums: Meguiar's Online

It took about 50 minutes for me. That was in the shade, no breeze and about 80 degrees. Big factor is also how thick you apply it. But as said above, use the "swipe test" method.
