Default Should I wait between applying glaze and wax?

I used my circular polisher to buff out some scratches. I used a soft foam pad to glaze/polish the car. Do I need to wait between glazing and waxing? Should I rinse the car off, dry, and then apply the wax? or can I go straight from applying glaze to applying wax?

What do you suggest for applying wax? DA polisher or hands?

you use the polisher to remove scratches first with a polishing pad or a cutting pad and some polish. Your glaze should come after your initial polish. After your glaze you can go straight to your wax, no rinsing is required. Apply your wax by hand with a mf app or by pc with a finishing pad/
