wax within certain temp range?

ok, i've read that you should wax your car out of the sunlight. any certain temp range you need to be in? it's getting in the 40's here. have had the car for about 14 days now and would like to get at least a couple good coats on before winter really starts to hit. it's been a little snowy/rainy here. want to hit it on the first dry day. any temperature concerns?

What are you going to put on it??? I've put a couple of coats of Zaino on the car when the garage was 45F. Just took a little longer to dry before I could buff it off.. (like an hour or so).

You should be ok applying your wax...as long as it is safely above freezing. Too cold a temperature may affect the wax's characaristics ie. application, dry time, bonding...etc.

So have a go at it and post pics afterwards of that beauty!! :rocks:
