I washed/dried and overall made mine all pretty yesterday when it was 38. The afternoon then rose to 55... Today, it's going to be 58. So much for planning ahead!

just got in from finishing up my wash 36*.... neighbors think im crazy like always but i don't take advice from people who don't take car of their cars. Best part of the wash was when it started flurrying on a couple of occasions i was laughing just thinking about what the neighbors were thinking.

Lol no. Some people just like to talk without actually knowing what they're saying, apparently.
I'd be a little concerned about the wax performing as well as you might expect in those temps though- especially pastes. What are you using?

Nothin like trying to dry your car before the water freezes!

I figured I'd need to work a little faster because of the temp, so I did smaller areas than usual. Seemed to be no different overall. I use that after every wash.
