303 Fabric Guard - Low temps?

[stig]

I recently acquired some 303 Fabric Guard for the first time, and slightly less recently a car to use it on. I have been planning on using it on my convertible top as part of its pre-winter storage protection (will be stored outside).

That said, on the back of the bottle it pretty clearly says to use it above 70*F. Would bad things happen if I used it at, say, 40*F? Don't want to screw it up!

Thanks.

No, it just takes a lot longer to set. A LOT longer. I used the 303 Fabric Convertible Top Kit (http://www.autogeek.net/303fabcontop.html) to clean my ragtop, and let it dry for about 16 hours in the garage. The air temperature in the garage was only about 58° so I set up a fan to blow over the roof to aid it in drying. I masked off the plastic rear window and all the adjacent areas and went to town with the 303 High Tech fabric Guard from the kit. With the fan blowing, I let it set for six hours before performing the misting test. Water still didn't bead, so I let it dry another six hours at which point I had to (reluctantly) pull the car out and head to work. It rained lightly and when I pulled into my spot at work I had a look... the top was dry, as if I'd waxed it. :)

Thanks for the input. I'm impressed:

I put some 303 HTFG on my friends brand new seats for his '87 Fiero GT. Like mentioned, it takes a lotttt longer to dry but I shouldn't effect the performance of the product. You can't rub water into his seats if you try
