It really doesn't bond much more by sitting, I'd imagine that you would have the same amount of hold now as you did when you put it on, as long as the surface was clean and dry.

How many opinions do you need? Joe Dirt pretty much hit the nail on the head. If the surface was prepped properly, as soon as you put it on, you could go through a carwash and it would be fine.
