Ashes signify that Jesus is present in our lives and faith. It is a reminder of our mortality here on Earth and our everlasting life with Him. You shouldn't really wipe off the ashes until next morning (Thursday morning). But there is no rule forbidding you to do so; it is just a matter of personal preference. Nothing will bad (or great, for that matter) will happen.
