Ne personally, I would never foam a whole car with an IK 1.5. Unless you want a work out. Lot’s of pumping.
It woudn’t cover a whole car in one fill and could take a while where i’d be worried about dwell time.
I use the IK foam pro 12 for this. Pump up 4-5 times to cover car adequately. It also has a port where you can hook up a tire inflator. Looking into those now.
iK FOAM Pro 12
I don’t really use small foamers anymore for anything but Ammo Frothe.

Agreed the Foam9 is better for the entire car, no doubt about it. You'd have to pump it up 2-3 times to do an entire car, although I've had to pump my Foam9 up twice to do my entire car though That attachment for using your hose is nice but does add cost to it and it's probably why I mentioned the IK 1.5 due to its larger size than the entry level tool.

Re: Cold weather drying aid/quick detailer
Opti-Seal did well in 40° temps outdoors. I was using ONR for a the wash.
I also use it regularly in the garage, but it's attached, and I have a pretty good electric heater.
I've never tried any other type of drying aide though.

Re: Cold weather drying aid/quick detailer
My mixture of Wolfgang Uber with distilled water works well in the winter as a drying or just touch ups. As long as the vehicle surface is facing the sun you will be ok even if temperatures are in the 20s. As soon as you turn to the shady side, it will freeze on the surface.
I believe in treating everybody with respect, and clean cars. That’s what I believe in.
