Most of the winter here in Canada it is too cold to detail the exterior of my vehicles. However this week coming the forecast is unseasnably warm . Around 38 - 45 deg F. Is this too cold to use a clay bar then cleaner then "nxt".? Thanks in advance. p.s. how bout the tires.

I've worked in that temp range. Use very thin coats of your products & wipe off ASAP. I've also prewarmed the vehicle in the sun then went to work on those panels turning the vehicle to prewarm the others. Good luck & enjoy the results.Death Before Dishonor -
Hey,
You should not have too many problems at that temperature. I have detailed at much, much colder temperatures but would not recommend it.
Here are a couple of links....
I hope this helps!

As far as claying, as long as the QD isnt freezing on the surface, you should be ok.
I have had good success with both the A-12 Cleaner/wax (red bottle), and ColorX in the cold, around 40F. I espeacialy like that with only one step, I can get back indoors fast.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR BlueComment

Thanks for the advice "Cert Car Crazy". I went out and got some a-12 cleaner/wax and it worked well.My truck hasnt looked this good since the middle of November. I did it to-day , the temp was around 38 f. Not too cold but after a couple of hours I was ready to come in. I will wait till spring to do a major exterior detail.Comment
