Does wax ever really dry in cold temps?

This last Saturday it got into the mid 40s and I decided to a quick wash then wax with NXT liquid. The next day I did another quick clean and applied a layer of NXT Spray Wax to top things off while inside an unheated garage where it was probably also in the 40s (colder day outside). After I put the Spray Wax on the car I let it sit over 30 minutes and put a little space heater on the floor beside it to help the wax dry, but of course a space heater is practically futile in a double garage. I had a heck of a time getting some of the wax off, some of it never really dried and just wanted to smear. I kept buffing till it looked like it was worked out pretty well, but the next day I noticed an even layer of dust over the entire car. I'd been driving some, but I the layer of dust seemed like more than I would have expected the day after a fresh wax. Is the problem that the wax never really dried and now it's attracting dust? If so, what could I do to fix the situation or is it hopeless till it warms up some. Of am I just imagining a problem...the dust was only particularly noticeable while I was wearing polarized sunglasses.
 
In my experience, the car ALWAYS attracts more dust after a wax than any other time. Once you wash it the first time, it will attract much less dust.



QEW claims to have dust-repelling properties too.

Justin, admittedly I'm pretty much a novice at this stuff, but I was under the impression that NXT liquid or paste was a polymer wax and the NXT spray wax was the sealant. The first coat I used NXT liquid, then followed it up with the spray wax.
