What is the least temperature you can put the 1z polish, Klasse aio/SG, and p21s on? I know Zaino is somewhere around 60.

I`ve applied both Zaino and S100 (aka P21S) on in the mid-40`s without problems (can`t speak for the other products, as I haven`t tried them in the cold).

~One mans opinion / observations~



Don’t get much experience with low temps (but that’s OK with me).

I think that it’s the surface temp, theory: (actual surface temperature of the vehicle)- 60 – 80oF products will work well within a much broader temperature range, (50° to 90° F) but the best results will be achieved in the 60° to 80° F range) that makes the most difference and the surrounding temp would need to be approx 5-10oF higher.



Perhaps some colder climate detailers have other thoughts on this.



~Hope this helps~

My experience with the cold is that is simply takes a lot longer. The biggest problem is with the damp, this seems to cause the real problem of heavy smearing.
