Is it too cold to polish/wax the scoob
Helllo,
At last the weekend looks dry!
So my plan for the scooby tomorrow is wash, clay and polish with autoglym ultra deep shine. but what's playing on my mind is, is it too cold to polish the car? it's going to be around 1 to 4 deg c tomorrow and it will be all done on the drive as I don't have a garage, I probably be freezing my moobs off! but thats ok as long as the scoob has it's winter coat on.
so before I start is it too cold or does it not matter?
Cheers
Wannis

Well mate your not the only one,I've got a massive detail planned and I've only got a drive aswell.just make sure you don't polish or wax when it's too cold like after 3-4 because you won't buff it off properly cos of the dew.

A mate who is into his detailing has told me to try and get it done before 2pm, so will crack on in the morning.

as long as its not raining or snowing u get warm anyway with all the moving about. my woman says its like a workout, more so if your claying and polishing and adding a sealcoat. 3 x around the car !! but its worth it, had some kids other day walk past and one said look hes at it again! washing the car, so i said clearly yep every friday.except if its snowing or raining.
