It needs a little time so you can easily wipe it up but the problem is that it's thin so it tends to travel and get into hard to reach places that you may miss some when cleaning up only to find pain peeling later. A few drops on the paint are no big deal as long as you have a clean rag handy with a little bodywork cleaner. If you leave it on paint for a day or so it will look like there was never any paint in that spot to begin with.
