    Minimum temperature to apply WGDGPS

    This week the weather is going to be in the low 40s here in WI. I was planning to do a quick detail job on my car in the next week before the snow starts flying. Then I realized I would have time to do a full detail this week (which it needs) that I had originally expected to put off until spring.

    My one question is, how warm should the car surface and garage interior be to get a good bond with DGPS? I'd want to put two layers on and call it quits.

    Re: Minimum temperature to apply WGDGPS

    I can't say what the absolute minimum would be but I just put WDGPS on my BMW this weekend after polishing. I got the garage temp up to 54F and the product worked fine. I let it sit for an hour after application just to be sure, but it dried to a nice haze and buffed off easily. Hope that helps.

    Thanks. I did some searching and found a few comments that the product isn't very sensitive to heat variances, but needs to be protected from condensation during the 12 hour cure time.

    I’ve found it best for me to not apply Sealants
    whenever the panel temps are going to be, and
    will remain, below 50°F.

    Here’s another guideline:

    It was 37 degrees here yesterday in Massachusetts and I used the WDGPS on a panel of my truck. It went on easily and came off without any problems.
