    Has this permanently solved your drift problem, or does it still require a cleaning every so often?

    It's been a bit over a year since I've done this and my Joycons haven't drift since then!

    How long should I wait after applying the contact cleaner and rotating the joycon to power on and recalibrate?

    I'd say a minute or two should be enough!

    another youtuber says the joy-cons wear out from eccsive play and not dust, so will this also fix that?

    Can't say for sure if it will solve the problem in that case. However, I've used my joycons a lot for about two years when it started drifting and this solved my problem. Maybe it was because it actually just needed a good cleaning or it just needed some extra lubrification. Hard to say.
