Hazy Days of Winter?? Temp range of products.

[lowew79]

I tried to wait until spring, but I just couldn't take it anymore. My truck had gentle coating of filth, I had to wash it. It was around 60 degrees when I started my regimen. By the time I got to the waxing part, it was dark and according to my trucks thermometer, 45 degrees. Thats when I noticed something strange. It was hazing.

Just to be clear this isn't the normal "dry to a haze" stuff. I know this because I wiped the normal, dry wax haze off. As I continued to work I noticed that areas I had already removed the wax from and buffed were getting hazy again. That kinda bothered me, so I tried to buff it again, thnking I just didn't do it right, but the haze wouldn't go away.

This is the first time this has happened, and the first time I used the products in chilly weather. So I am hypothesising that maybe the behavior was due to the temperature.

Is there a lower limit on the temperature you can use the products? I know the can talks about not doing it when its too hot, but is there a too cold?

Products I used... Ultimate polish, ultimate wax (paste not liquid) and the quik detailer for spot work.

Thanks

Usually in the 50's is recomended.

I think the cleaner/waxes have the best chance of working in colder weather.

But nothing too bad will happen.. just wash again if needed and should be fine.

Thanks for the quick response, I put it in the garage after I was done where its a tad warmer. The haziness went away almost instantly lol. I think I will hit it with the qwik detailer, and the quik wax tomorrow when it is warmer. Do you think that will work? Will the wax I appied "set" or should I try to remove it first?
