Everyone has their own process for tires. For me, and many I race with, on asphalt the process we use is:
1. Sauce as early as you can. Usually full rear and only 1/4 of front tire (inside edge).
2. If you have heater, put them on as soon as you sauce. I put some foil or a paper towel on the tire then put the warmer on. I usually heat to about 110-125F on exotek tires.
3. Right before you go out to race, take off the heaters and wipe down the tires with a rag or towel. You don't want any wet sauce on them when you go out. wet sauce doesnt give you grip. i see so many cars go out with wet tires
The sauce is breaking down the rubber to make it softer and increase grip. The longer you leave it on, the more grip you will have. Depending on your surface, track temp, ambient temps, driving style etc. you need to tune this process to make sure you don't overheat your tires and lose them halfway through the run.

Some say leaving them on for too long will break down the rubber too much and basically ruin the whole tire. But Ive left them on for hours and even until they have dried and dont notice much difference. You will need to try it out yourselves and see what works for you
