Opti-Seal in cold weather?

Been so busy lately I have had to do my winter waxing job in sections. Unfortunately I think the last of the warm weather has run out and I will have to finish in the cold.



After work this evening I did a quicky job on my roof and trunk lid. Paint is still in good shape from polishing this spring so I just ONR'd, clayed, Optimum Wax and followed with opti-seal. (Only had about 45 mins of daylight)...



I was concerned because the label on the Opti-Seal says to use in temps between 55 and 75 degrees and it was about 40 out at the time. Even with a very light application I noticed it took much longer for the streaking to diminish but I followed up with MF buff and it looks good.



Anybody else use opti-seal in cold weather or do you guys avoid it?
 
I applied in 3degree weather yesterday (35F give or take) and I had no problems. It took a little longer to flash but most parts were dry within 10 minutes of finishing. My fingers were colder too...but that had nothing to do with the OS. :)
