The Old Grey Whistle Test
If in doubt use-
Swipe Test:
Product residues should be dry when you buff them. If the residues are still wet, you are using too much product. After sufficient drying times do a quick swipe test with your finger, if no smearing or drag is evident, the residue is ready to be removed.

#7 can be wiped off immediately. Actually it becomes difficult to remove if you let it sit too long.

Here is an article from Mike Phillips of Meg's that may be of some help with #7:

Yeah, go by what Mike Phillips says :xyxthumbs His wife Lynn has posted some good stuff on using #7 also.
#7 is sorta weird in that it doesn't really "dry" the way most products do. And it's really not all that great on b/c paint, just not what it was designed for. #81 and #5 (and even #3) work better on b/c in my experience.
How long you let #7 dwell can depend on what you're trying to do. I've let it dwell overnight (thick application too) on older ss. But if you're using it on b/c, there's no real point in letting is dwell any longer than it takes for it to "skin" since it doesn't "soak into" the paint the way it can with some older types of ss.
