Question Cold detailing? weird....

So, yesterday I was detailing my truck. It was around 6pm, so it was getting dark and colder, around 44-46 degrees. I was using 80 then followed up by NXT 2.0. When I was using M80, it didn't take out as many swirls as it used to, so after using 80 with the DA, I wiped it off and got a smearing effect on the paint, so I just kept wiping until it was gone (or as gone as I could get it). So, I thought it was the 80. I put the wax on, and it went on fine, then when I started to take the wax off, it was doing the same thing...smearing. It took me about 45min to take the wax off of the truck using the DA, which usually takes about 10. So why did this happen? Was it too cold? Or was I doing something wrong?

Process from the Detail:
Clay- Blue
80
2.0

G110

Anything under 50 degrees is going to make it very difficult to get the product removed. NXT has to be put on VERY thin and rubbed in, and the colder it is, the longer you have to let it set and dry before removing it.

agreed with glc, i ran into that same problem but realized if you just let it set an hour or so you'll be perfectly fine!
