I washed and waxed my car today in 50ish weather today with no problem but had some odd effects like moisture landing on my car, other than that I had no problem.

Re: winter waxing

A cleaner/wax is certainly a good way to get some wax on the paint in the winter.

Since it is cool/cold, you can also work in the sun, which will help.

If its not that sunny on Monday I would wax in your garage if you have utility lights.
Otherwise I think it would be fine, just be careful of freezing water on your drive way.

If possible I would wax it out in the sun. I really do not see any problems.

It was 60 here in Michigan Saturday afternoon. I got to treat my girl's car with some scratchX, and NXT liquid before my gig. It rained when my gig was over, and wow - I never tire of seeing water bead!
