You will be fine. I try and not do any detailing work under the mid 40,s. Then it is too cold out to do anything in my book.

I was asking myself the same question, because it's also aroud 50F here and I want to do my car during the week-end.
Thanks!

thanks for the quick reply! glad to know i can squeak it in before it gets really cold. i should have done it last month but put it off, of course it went from 80 to 50 overnight (seemed like).

I have detailed with success in 45 to 50 degree weather. Just use QD on pad to keep moist if air is dry.

Do not use a QD for a primer. Use the product itself or if you feel you need a pad primer use a mist of water.

I guess I have learned this from Mike here at AGO. He has said,

"Try spraying a little M34 Final Inspection onto the surface or onto your pad,"

a few times on this forum. Sorry Mike if I am miss quoting you, but I have taken from your posts that using a QD on a pad or on a paint surface is good for giving more moisture to work with.

Why would using a QD as a primer be bad? I usually use a pad conditioner like xmt but I don't see any reason why a QD would be bad.
