I have been planning on washing, claying, polishing, and waxing my car (for the 1st time) this Saturday. This morning on the news they forecasted a chance of snow with temperatures ranging from 28 to 37 degrees for the weekend.

I will be inside an unheated garage. My questions is "will it be to cold?"

Thanks
 
Is it an attached garage? If so I think you'll be alright, if a little uncomfortable. If you are machine polishing, that would infer that you have electricity, if you are using halogen lights, they will certainly heat the place up a bit. You can also use a small electric heater. Just make sure you don't overload your circuit, standing next to your car in the pitch black, buffer in hand, with an unsteady halogen light fixture nearby, is no fun (ask me how I know).
 
I kind of set 40F as my "mental" ambient min temp for sealants. It may not be much of an issue for polishing and the like. Some carnauba based waxes don't do well when it gets below 50F, IME.



Do you have a little space heater, Hunter, that you could throw out there for a few hours before you commence?
