How cold is too cold to use ONR? If it is too cold what will the ONR do? Will it streak, or become hard to remove?

I really don't see it becoming hard to remove unless it starts to freeze. I've used it outside in the low 40's with no problem (used warm water). If it's cold enough that it starts to freeze on the paint I'd hold off unless you can get it into a garage and warm the paint up a bit. Any ice that forms will cause marring when you wipe it off so just keep that in mind.



Use some rubber dishwashing gloves to help keep your hands warm if it's pretty cold out.
 
I've actually used ONR in the 30's. I also wear thinsulate gloves with rubber gloves over them if I have to use the ONR in the cold. I don't use it in the cold unless I have to. I would much rather do it in the garage!
 
Above freezing is okay, but at or below and even with warm/hot wash (or rinse) water, you'll need to work very fast with the dry towel to stay ahead of ice crystals. Still, ONR RULES!
