Actually, if you read the bottle (Future), it says that it drys in 20-30 minutes and takes about 8 hours to cure. I accidently found out that the spotting did not occur if the car remained in a garage for a week before becoming wet. It's possible that only a day would have had the same result, but I haven't experimented with it that extensively. The label also provides full instructions for removal of the product from a suface.
