    Shipping liquid products in winter, will they freeze?

    I assume most products should not be allowed to freeze. This might be a silly question but, would it be bad to order products online and have them sit at my front door for a 1/2 day in 20 degree weather? (plus whatever other below freezing conditions it saw on the way to me)

    Lots of people use DACP and the Menzerna twins with good results. Lots also say after DACPing thouroughly, the surface is almost good enogh to wax right then. So, my quesion is, instead of DACP>IP>FP>WAX could you just skip the IP? Does it really help at all?

Anyone else do this? I suppose a QDer might take care of it too but sometimes I don't use one...
