Drying pre-Polishing/waxing

Is it necessary to carefully dry the car after washing it IF you are polishing it the next day and waxing it after that? I feel like dried water spots will be wiped off after all the buffing with the polishing and waxing. -Thanks

If you can avoid the waterspots all together its best to do that. Wiping the car down only takes 15 min at the most.

I've never let the car sit that long prior to polishing and waxing. My concern has always been getting a coat of wax on prior to any residue settling back on the car.
