What's the coldest you've waxed and detailed your car at? Would 50 degrees be too cold to do it or can you do it at a lower temp without ruining your paint?

I think 60 is the recommended temp for most waxes. Any colder and it becomes a b*tch to get off.

I did meguires in about 42 degree weather. Just made sure the car was in the sun. The veloster is black, so it absorbs heat well anyway. Took a little longer, but worked well. No problems.
