    Post Re: What temperature ranges are best for applying compounds, polishes, waxes and paint sealants

    I just washed a cargo van and before I could dry it so I could wax it, the water drops started freezing. So I turned the vehicle on and ran the heat on maximum.

    The ice melted, and I proceeded to apply the wax.

    I didn't take the wax off, as I figured it could take a number of hours for it to dry, and then it started snowing. This was primarily on the roof of the van, and I think the snow and elements will eventually remove the wax by themselves. This I've seen from the last time I applied wax to the roof, but didn't have time to remove it.

    I check my surface with a digital temperature gun. No guessing that way and you can get them cheap now at Harbor Freight.
