| Silver Member | Wax will take forever to dry if it is too cold. How cold is it? Read the directions it should tell you something about the ideal temperature blah blah blah. I don't think it will really hurt anything, the wax just won't harden to the stage where you can buff it off. |

IWSTI Addict since: Dec 2004 Trader Rating: (0) | you're fine but may not look as glossy as it could. If you really want a shiny look I would remove that wax coat once it gets a bit warmer and do it again....but then again you'll be picking up salt and crap on the road so your shiny look won't last long anyways. |
