Would 50F be too cold to polish, glaze, and wax the S? I know I'd need to warm the clay bar, but I'm wondering if the temps do anything to the polish and wash?

the temp wont harm any of your products... polishes dont care at all about temps- your synthetics (and carnaubas) might take a bit longer to cure but the main problem with detailing in colder temps is your hands. keep them warm and you will be fine.
