Re: Waxing at cooler Temps
The product should tell you but i think anything over 40 F will be fine. -

You can also try to work in the sun to avoid the dampness, etc.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR BlueComment

Re: Waxing at cooler Temps
As a rule of thumb we recommend 50~55F to be the lowest temp for applying wax. As temps drop and/or humidity rises it can dramatically lengthen curing time. That said, we've heard plenty of people claim to get excellent results at temps well below that, but the recommendation for working in direct sunlight to warm up the paint surface a bit is valid and can actually help.Michael Stoops

I have waxed in the 40s before. The wash bucket from that morning I was having to fight the suds freezing. Probably around 34 when I started that day. Seemed to take a hair longer to pass my swipe test.Comment
