According to the Zymöl US web site "Paint surfaces must be equal to, or greater than, 65F for wax to bond." To all the people using the wax at the moment have you all got heated garages because that's 18C?
Mark, any comment?

Julian.

Seeing as I was going to be at home over the Christmas Weekend I thought I would park the car up in the garage and give the car a couple of coats of Zymol. The first day was OK, but as it started to get colder it became more and more difficult to remove the wax.

My solution was to plug in an electric heater and gently warm the car (and me) a little, after that it wasn't really a problem. I guess an alternative is to wait for a sunny day (like today:-) to warm the car through a little.

Cheers,

R
