We've reached the point where the temperatures are now regularly in the 40's. I still haven't completed a full detail on my car yet for the winter, and need to do this badly before it gets white up in this biotch.
What is the coldest temperature I can get away with and still be able to do an outside polish/seal job?

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

I thought colder was better for detailing?

Too cold can lead to freezing liquids on your car..

We're still seeing 50's for a few days over the next week but most of the days are in the 40's. I do not look forward to the 30's, 20's, and the occasional teens we get here sometimes. Those temps mean the car isn't getting washed till it hits 40's again.

It's called a heated garage with a space heater BP...

I normally don't detail below 40* but that's just me. And that's more because it's too cold for me to be outside for that long haha. I usually use a heated garage though

I have detailed around 40 degrees... I'm not sure if colder temps hurts the products used but I know they hurt my hands

But I see lower temps having a problem with liquids drying at normal speeds.

I would not detail below 50 degrees. The polishes and waxes will not apply properly.
