Believe it or not we do get cold weather here in Florida.It will be in the mid 70s this Sunday.Is that too cold to do detail work,aka,wash,clay,wax,etc.? Ive heard stories like the wax will not bond correctly.

 

lol mid 70's is cold!? that's not even close to cold..you'll be fine

 

Ditto. I have waxed in the 40's here before.

 

70s is just about perfect. I prefer 60s personally but that's just me. It's best to work on a cool (not cold) surface rather than a hot surface. The polishes and other chemicals won't flash too quickly and will have a better chance to to what they're supposed to do.

 

Rub it in why dontcha

It's getting cold here... 70s would be awesome so I can get mine done

 

55 degrees in Jax Beach tonight. I washed, put on some glaze and waxed around 9pm. Temperature was perfect. It was a little harder due to lighting, but it came out really great. The finish is so slick it feels wet.

Definitely not used to being able to wax this late in the season. Vermont and Florida are worlds apart temperature wise.

 

mid 70s...cold?

 

holy crap did i hear this right mid 70's i only wish for summers likes that... -35 last week here in fairbanks alaska... but i think you would be ok to detail at 70

 

Dude, I completely deatailed my truck yesterday and it was 53* out the whole time.

 

I've detailed in the low 50's in Montana and everything was fine

 

Rub it in, rub it in. Jeeeeeeeeeezzz.

 

please 70 degrees it didnt even make it to 70 here today

this week it has gotten down in to the high 20's haha now that is cold

 

I ordered some Optimum No Rise from Autogeek...it will be interesting to see how this stuff works??

 

What does that have to do with cold weather detailing?

 

ONR can be used in a garage if necessary. Great for when you can't drag a hose out because of the weather. You mix a bucket up, use your wash mitt/towel of choice and do each panel at a time. No need to rinse off. Just wipe it and then towel dry it off. It may require more than one pass to remove the dirt. Some people prefer to wash with ONR over the hose and bucket. Supposedly they get less marring though I personally still prefer to use a hose and bucket when able.
