You can actually go right to the wax after polishing, you don't need to wait at all.

Yeah that will be fine, sorry I misread your post.

A little bit of dust might accumulate in that amount of time, you might want to spray on a quick detailer to get rid of any contaminants on the paint before you apply the wax.

+1 on that...I was pulled away from waxing my car on Monday, and it sat for about an hour before I could put wax on it. Now, I had the car garaged, but it shouldn't be too much different from your situation.
