Opinions please! Cold weather detail.

[Souldetailer]

Hey y'all,

I've got 40f to work with an need to do a wash, maybe Speed,
trim (Jeep, Lotsa plastic) and tires. Already deconed and washed a few day ago. Will wash again before detail, using hot water and CG citrus to cleanse the surface. Pebbled fiberglass top I have UTTG, plastic fenders are gonna get Surfcity. I do not anticipate any trouble with the temp. Just want to make sure with you all if you had any problem with this. Thank you and take care.

Peace,

Darrin

You'll be fine. I did details in colder temps when I was in Upstate NY.

When I work out in the cold weather, I always have to make sure my ears are covered up. They are super sensitive to cold weather and hurt quite a bit when they get cold. Make sure you dress appropriately for the temps. That's all I got, lol. Have fun with it.

Thank you fellow North Carolinian, I really didn't anticipate any problems but better to safe than sorry. Take care and we should try to get an NC gig going. We have plenty of folks around, I do believe. Thank again.

Peace,

Too bad I just moved. I would've definitely been up for a NC meet and greet. I was in Chapel Hill too!

As for the temps. Like other's have said, a hat and gloves work wonders if you don't have a garage.

I'm in Buffalo, NY now and am having to adjust to not having my nice 4.5 bay heated and insulated garage anymore to detail in. Washing my truck with ONR now very quickly haha

Thanks guys, we're on the same page. I deconed both chemically and manually at the power wash. Managed to scrub the tires and all the plastic while there. Gonna two bucket it w/hot suds then proceed with the detail. Thank again & take care.

DarrinIf I lived up north,my personal opinion would be 6.95 and 3.00 for hot wax .I can't do the cold thing its brutal I give you credit.

I'd use the UTTG for the plastic instead of the Surf City dressing. Coating vs dressing; which one would impress the customer more?

Thank you for your response. The thing is, the plastic is a whited out. I understand that UTTG is great for retaining trim, but not so much as a recovery application. Where as the Surfcity rejuvenates to the original color. Am I wrong? I'm happy to read all responses. Thanks & take care.

Dressing would look good ,it's deeper and more of a vibrant look but doesn't last.coating would be the way to go for durability if your getting paid to coat.

How about dress it now to regain the original color, then use the UTTG to keep the "new" look a few weeks later? I have flexibility with the customer.

DarrinI personally think it's pointless to dress as it will be gone in one rain or snow storm.
