How Cold - 09-06-2008, 11:10 PM

Winter is coming and if my ride is parked in the garage and I dont have to wash it how cold can it be before I should not apply wax/sealants as in a Wolfgang Deep Sealant type product? How about a semi-heated garage in the 50-60 degree range??

You should not go below 50 and I do believe the bottles will tell you the range

No big deal, but if you put your location in your profile, it will be shown under your user name and people will have at least some idea where you are located.

As for your question.
I have used products in temperatures as low as the mid to upper 40s and many didn't work too well.
At 50, performance is much better, but 60 seems to be the point where they apply and remove like they should. I don't know anything about Wolfgang products, but I would guess they would act very much the same.
Letting the vehicle surfaces reach a warmer temperature helps greatly.
