I'll add another vote for waiting. I wash in the afternoon, then garage the car, and detail in the garage at night, or next day. Sometimes I leave a coat on overnight, and buff off the next morning. I have one more step in between the wash/detail though. When I bring the newly-washed Boxster into the garage, I fire up the air compressor, and blow the standing water out of the crevices - like the trunk gutters, and under the clamshell, behind the mirrors etc. Otherwise, it seems like no matter how long I leave it to drip-dry, there's always someplace water hides indefinitely.
