Washed car yesterday, is it okay to wax the next day?

So I washed my car yesterday evening but didn't have time to apply the Klasse AIO. Would it be safe to do it today without re-washing it? My car is parked in the underground garage parking which does have dust overtime.

Will I be introducing scratches/swirls if I'm rubbing the substance in after 24 hours of 'collecting' dust?

You should apply wax immediately after washing. If not, use quick detailer and then apply the wax. Otherwise you'll be scratching up the clearcoat with the dust.

I park in my garage at home so I can wash and then wax days later without any dust build up on it if I haven't taken it out.

If it has accumulated dust, you could use a QD very thoroughly to get it off and then wax.

Yeah if you garage your car it gives you a lot more freedom in terms of time to detail
