Wax bonding
- Thread starter vern
- Start date
Search is probably one of the best tools on the internet.Thats what I try to use before I post any messages.In this case nothing came up as far as the message I posted,"Wax bonding and temperature".Thats the reason I posted the second message,hoping to get a answer from some one that has some expertise on this matter not come up with the word"SEARCH",Any one can send that message.
TIA

On the "Internet" there are "links"... simply move your mouse over it, depress the left mouse button (it's the apparatus connected to your computer with at least 2 buttons), and voila... you will be instantly transported to the list of posts related to your desired topic at once!
For example, the word "Search" in ejant's post is underlined... this indicates that it is the "link" you desire... give it a try! I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I don't think he is trying to be rude.Thanks for the information about going to the word search that is under lined,I new that you can get your search infromation that way.In this case there was NOTHING about BONDING WAX at 60 DEGREES OR HIGHER.Maybe you just might have some other suggestions how I can obtain the information I'm looking for.

Seems like more than one post borders on the rude side.
If I were Ejant, I don't think I would put forth a lot of effort to answer the questions of someone that responded like this.

Ejant's link did hookup to a thread covering just what was asked for. Don't see what more could be expected.

Hey, "vern," Ejant's link provides multiple answers to your question. Some saying that they've waxed at around 50, others, 65 or higher.
One person also mentioned that you may have some difficulties with the wax at temperatures below 50 degrees.
There, I even typed it out for you. Calm the hell down, would you?

Vern:
Go to the 4th post in this thread, (by ejant), click on the underlined word in that post, read the thread about wax bonding at less than ideal temperatures.
Isn't this the information you asked someone to provide you with?
Not rude? Some of your posts seem extremely rude to me.

Vern, how much are you paying all these guys to jump through hoops for you and answer all your questions when you snap your fingers?

Deep breath, everyone; please let's stay civil . . . let's write the unpleasantness off to a misunderstanding, and get back to the topic at hand. If I understand vern's question, he's more concerned about whether the wax will bond to the surface at lower temps, not so much about ease-of-use.
IMO (and I have nothing to back this up other than my own anectdotal data), if you can apply it and buff it off, it's on the car. I've applied S100 as low as 50', and other than taking longer to flash off before wiping, no problems. Shine, slickness, and longevity for that coat seemed to be no different than when I've used S100 in warmer temps, so I'm assuming that the wax stuck to the surface exactly as it was meant to do, regardless of the cooler temps.
I honestly don't know of an objective way to tell if wax applied to a 50' vehicle adheres any worse or better than wax applied to a 70' vehicle; about all you can do is compare the performance of the wax coat applied at lower temps vs. higher temps, and try to decide based on that. That said, there are so many variables in how quickly a coat of wax degrades (weather, garaging, how much driving, etc.), it's all a crap shoot :nixweiss
Bottom line: <opinion>I think if the weather's warm enough that you can get the wax you're using to apply and buff off without doing anything wierd (streaking, hazing, whatever), then it probably is bonding to the surface as well as it does at warmer temps.</opinion>

The following information was copied from that thread. While it might not have the specific information you are looking for, it definitely has info about waxing at less than ideal temperatures.
I'm done.

From the thread Ejant linked to:
1. A wax will not work well below 50 degrees.
2. I have never applied SG at these temps, but as it's only going to be 42 for a high today and tomorrow, I'm going to find out how well it works. Tomorrow I'm putting my 4th coat of SG on my truck.
I have waxed at this temp also, but buffing off was a little bit of work. Try a panel and see how it works for you. If it's O.K., go for it.
I always QD after washing, and I found that you can QD down to 35 degrees without a problem.
The secret for me, is keeping everything in the house at 75 degrees before I use them on my truck. I only bring the supplies out when I'm ready to use them.
3. I agree with other, applying it to the finish at anything below 50 deg. and you might not have good results, I would bend more to 65 or warmer.
4. I have detailed cars when it is 35 degrees outside (like Racintodd, I have skintight rubber gloves I wear when it is cold), and I really have had no problems using Meguiars High Tech Yellow when that cold, other than it takes longer to set so you can remove it without streaking. I usually use Meguiars Polymer #20 when it is under 40 degrees though-I can remove it with less wait than #26.
TORT,
Thanks for the informative information.I'm not trying to be mister wise guy but it seams like no body under stood the post.All I wanted to know if the wax bonded better at 60 degrees or higher not any of the information that they were directing me to.You under stood the post and thanks again for the reply.

Not humor...probably more sarcasm than anything. Considering the amount of repeat questions we have on this forum and how frustrated it makes some of us, I didn't think it was all that rude.
That'll teach me. I know perfectly well that I should wait before making a comment like that.
