m80 in 48 degree garage

Title sums it all up. I tried getting a little extra heat in there with no luck. Since the product wont need to cure, will this drastically affect its performance? I did read #4 in the FAQ, but wanted some opinions anyway. Thanks

We know a guy that buffed out an Audi in December in the State of Washington while it was snowing out. The garage door was open so we can assume the temperature in the low-30s.

Of course this was a rotary buff out but included applying the entire gamit of products. Everything worked pretty good except it took a long time for the wax to dry. (M26).

I guess I need to get out there and just do it. Right now the outside temp is 25 and about 64% humidity.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll change my strategy and start working on my wife's car while mine is still drying.

Re: m80 in 48 degree garage

Here's a trick I use. I live in an apartment and have an attached one stall garage. The garage stays pretty warm from being attached, it's never below freezing. If I have any driving around to do, I try to do that all at once and park my truck in the garage. If a wait a few hours the heat from the truck will heat up the garage a little. Not the best method but if your only looking for a 5-10 degree increase it might just work for you.

I just did the car with 80 when it was in the 40's in my garage. I did what BlueZero did. I drove around and pulled in, let he car cool down and the heat warmed the garage to about 52. Worked fine!

I thought about doing that, but its not a daily driver and it was getting late. Plus my two little ones were sleeping. I may have also misread my thermometer. I think it was actually 58. But tonight the low is supposed to hit 4, so at this rate I may not get any polishing done for a few weeks. Maybe with the utility door open, dryer running, work lights on and a space heater, just might make it comfortable.
