I MUST get a complete wax job in tomorrow and it's only going to be ~40-50 degrees here (a high of 48 forecasted for outside air temp). Is that temp range acceptable to get a decent coat of Meguiar's Gold Class on? I will call their RX Hotline as well to verify but wondering if any of you have input for waxing under these conditions. I do have garage space but the lighting is very poor so I hope to get it done outside. Thanks.

 

That will work fine with the given temps.

 

Sweet! Tell me your location of "by a bigazz lake, WI" means by Lake Winnebago or Lake Michigan. I am In Manitowoc, and there is another member here, as well as several others in the Green Bay / Fox Valley area.
As for your question, I just waxed my car on Saturday, and I waxed it several times last winter, when the outside temp was below freezing. It worked fine, but takes longer to dry. If you wax the whole car, then it will be dry by the time you start removing it.
And yes, this was with Gold Class. I usually throw a coat of Meg's Cleaner Wax on first though. It seems to stay smoother, longer, and bead water better. I can almost wash my car without even using a chamois.

 

Thanks for the response/feedback White. I "fought the low-light conditions" (a drag) and completed 95% of the work in my underground garage. As an aside, this Nissan paint really does suck. I could use 90-grit sandpaper and Ajax on my late 90's Bimmer and get a better result but...b**** session for another day because "it is what it is."

I'm in Bayside bro, Northshore Milwaukee burb on Lake Michigan.

 

I know where that is. I used to live in Cedarburg. (About 20min north of Bayside)
Do you go cruising hwy. 100? I used to do that a lot while I lived in Cedarburg.

I look forward to checking out your car at future Maxima.org meets.
