To cold to polish/wax? (Hope not!)

Hello!



I have been running by the coin op. weekly to try and keep the winters war on my cars at bay. Don't get mad at me yet!!...I'm only using their water, not those dirty, stiff, scratch inducing brushes. (The fun part is driving with a bucket of soapy water, without spilling it from the house, but the gas station is only blocks away.)



I have wanted to throw some wax, or even polish/wax on the paint after washing it, but questioned it's effectiveness due to the cold temps. I use the Mother's 3 step stuff.



Assumingly not below freezing, could I do this and would it be effective/ as effective if waxing in warmer temps?



Actually, another question that came to mine is that of a place I could go that would allow me to work indoors? Does anyone no of places that do that, maybe for an hourly rate?



Thanks for any feed back!

What I've recommended to people wanting to wax in cold temps (and what I've done myself) is to use a spray wax in lieu of normal wax. Waxes and sealants can get finicky at temps in the 40s. If you can work in a heated garage, you'll be fine with your normal products. If not, usually a spray wax will work without too many problems.
