    anyone applied BFWD is 50 degree temps?

    tomorrow is going to be the first decent day here in a LONG time. No rain but the high is about 55. I have a closet full of brand new detailing supplies and a brand new black accord sport in the parking lot. I am dieing on the inside every day I wait to use this stuff! Do you forsee any problems?
    Also I am going to have to do this in the parking lot after a pay n spray, then a rinseless wash when I get home. I will not have a garage or shade. Is sunlight going to be less of an issue if its still kinda cold outside?

    I have not tried to using this at 50 F but have not had any real issues with sealants at that temperature. It may take a little longer to haze but not significant unless you over apply.

    You will be fine.. Although I have never applied anything in the sun.. Do a small test section before the whole car to make sure it doesn't bake in the paint

    I did my black 2013 Accord last spring when it was about 50. I did it in the garage though. But it did work fine at that temp. In the sun is the unknown for me, but try a test spot like HD mentions.

    Will you be claying and/or polishing first?

    I will probably clay depending on the baggie test. No machine polishing this time ust a hand application of BF GEP.

    Re: anyone applied BFWD is 50 degree temps?

    Do you have a slightly more aggressive polish like M205 or BF Total Polish and Seal? The clay will likely micro-mar a little bit on the soft Honda paint (usually does for me anyway). GEP has barely any cut. If GEP is all you have and you are going to apply by hand anyway, I'd use a MF hand applicator to give you a little cut. You can find them locally at auto parts stores. Like this: Microfiber Applicator Pads spread car care products evenly & neatly. Microfiber is nonabrasive and safe on clear coat finishes.
