    Out of the sun, the paint feels like an ice cube to me.
    I’m picking up what you’re puttin down there, p-dawg.

    I radiate a lot of heat though, so I’d even take 45 Detailing an old neglected car. back when I worked in a fridge I was one of the only ones who would end up taking off their coat because I was just gettin too hot. The -20 freezer chilled me down to my soul though. Way past my comfort zone lol.

    I have polished my paint in pretty cold temps though, and I don’t think I ever paid any special attention to anything when I did. Was just business as usual.

    I believe at one point I did a wash, clayed, and hit it with HD speed in something like January/February? Cold as all hell in the garage but everything worked as per usual.

    Let me know the next time you do that January/February polish.

    Every time you change a pad, you can run me IN a beer.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    That's a true detailers test IMO. An older neglected car vs an exotic that leaves the garage 1 time per month
