How warm does it have to be before i can wax???

[LOGJOCKY]

I am just curious cause i got like 6 cars lined up to do and i need/want the money for them. i checked the wax bottles and they do not say, so i am unsure. just need to know what temp it should be before i wax and what happens if i do it and it is too cold. thanks in advance

Cool to cold dry surface is ideal. I can imagine waxing in extreme cold will only dry the wax faster.

60 not much better.
The hotter and more humid the worse things get.

From the Zaino website....

Zaino Show Car Polish works best at 60 degrees or higher. However, it can be applied down to temperatures of 45 degrees. It just will take much, much longer to dry. As much as two to three hours drying time is required if the temperature is 50 degrees or below. Also, If the humidity is high. Longer drying time is necessary. Humidity is a killer on the drying time of Z-2 or Z-5.

That is of course if he is fortunate enough to be using Zaino.

FWIW, nothing I have ever used in my life has removed as easy as Zaino.

I'd say anything over 15* C should be fine for you.

Hey Mike and anyone else, stupid computer trivia here, if you type " alt-1-6-7 " you get the degree symbol. You have to use the number pad for the numbers though. Can't show you cause I'm on my laptop. Try though. there are a bunch of combinations. alt-1-6-8 is the upside-down question mark used in Spanish!

I always use the rule of thumb just don't wax in the sun, I usually put it in the garage, have a beer or two then start to let things cool off.
