Hi,
For those who don't live in warm climates throughout the year...

...Any things I should know about(tips?) in terms of trying to detail my car in colder weather?...or is this a NO-NO?...i.e. wax won't dry right?...or harder to apply/remove?

I plan to do wash, polish, and use paste wax...and I saw no temp. requireemnts on any of the products....am I in the clear?

Hey, Zymol works even better in cold weather; it is less apt to dry while you are buffing it out. Much easier to buff and still the nice shine.

Is this "The" BlackPearl from PA with the Type R?

Is it sleeping in a garage? Only thing I can think of is waxing more often, and washing after driving through the road salt they use to melt ice and snow.

And neoprene gloves work great for washing in the cold! Like 10 bucks at wal-mart.

Good to see you 'round here, even though it's just an Acura . . .

You know Im kidding right?

Zymol has temperature ranges to abide by.

Zymol wax should be stored in a cool dark place preferably refrigerated. Warm waxes to room temperature before using. pain surfaces must be greater than 65 degrees for the wax to bond. Do not allow any Zymol product to freeze.

This is taken from the Zymol Owners manual.
