When is it to cold to wax and polish your car? Is there a temperature where it's kinda a cut off for waxing?

Re: Cooler weather?
I have done mine at 50F and other than a tad longer drying time, it was fine. Probably would be fine even at a lower temp, but no experience lower than 50. -

Re: Cooler weather?
I just did my car but used Hi-Tech Yellow 26. Came out okay. Good shine and depth. Temps were in the 40's. Under 50 degrees out I stay away from the waxes that need a cure time like NXT 2.0 but wanted to get something on the car before it gets really cold. Did two coats and spray wax on top then next day Ultimate Quick Detailer. Finish is now slick and slippery and reflects like a mirror.Comment

Re: Cooler weather?
When the weather is cool, you can work in the sun, which helps.
You may get a little streaking from wax if it is damp.. but nothing damaging, no rain not to take care of things.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR BlueComment

If you have a warm garage then you can do it year around but as everyone else states 50 degrees is usually the cutoff for any kind of correction work or wax.Comment

Re: Cooler weather?
I would wait after the 24 hour cure time stated on the back of the label before topping it.Originally posted by 02Rodeo View Post
Will it hurt anything, probably not.
If you want to get the full effects of 365 let it cure for 7-10 days.Comment

Re: Cooler weather?
If it rains will that affect cure time within the 7-10 day window..Comment

Re: Cooler weather?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say no. The bottle states a 24 hour cure time.
Mike Stoops had stated somewhere in regards to the 7-10 day window. I can't recall off the top of my head. If I find it I will post it.Comment

Re: Cooler weather?
Yes I know the bottle says 24 cure time I just wasn't sure if exposure to water would affect the cure time..Comment
