Is there an ideal temperature range to wash, polish, and wax a car? Can I do it in 40 degree weather? Do the chemicals seperate, thicken too much, etc...

i would also like to know. I'm dieing to wax my car. If i were to guess i would imagine somewhere in the 60-70 degree range but i don't know because they say that you should apply the wax to a cool,clean and dry surface.

depends on the wax or sealant. some waxes dont like the sun others dont like the cold. aslong as you dont mind the cold you should be able to wax at any temp.
