Cold weather rules??

[FLONI]

I've read alot of "rules" related to the cold weather....I'm not talking about what to winterize....I mean....detailing leather seats...washing....Zaino/AIO in the actual winter(which in the NY area is here....I mean it went from the high 70's to mid 40's in 2 days!!!).....
..some people say its 50 degrees....dont wash your car outside below 50....others say the leather wont absorb any conditioner..etc...below a certain temp....are there any rules that are set in stone(not just personal choices)....about interiro/exterior work...like actual degree numbers that are across the board accepted by "most" of us here.

I do not know about others, but my rule of thumb for washing a car is above freezing and the hose is not frozen. Just the same way I wash in the summer, but with a pair of long pants and a sweater. If there is a garage, QD it. Or if the water or QD freezes on the surface. I washed a car, dried it, then it got colder (later in the evening) and I tried to QD it, upon spraying the QD onto the surface, it froze and took my breath and some buffing to get off, never again!

As for interior work, Vacumm in the garage at 40 or above.

Thats what I do in the winter.

the sweater...and gloves is a good start....aint got a garage...so i have to rough it...like in the old days....when detailing was done but only the roguhest of men....rebels....outcasts of society....the few...the chosen....the obsessed.....and most of their offspring wound up on this forum....what a coincidence!!!

who said anything about gloves?

I do not have a garage either, I do travel to relatives houses and use their garages for their cars. I would so take of my car with what I have if I had one.
