LSP recommendations for application in cold weather

[nick dude]

Hey all,

Have my son coming home from college soon and would love to get some winter protection on his pickup.
I can't fit it in my garage so anything I do will be done outside, I am dealing with temps in the 30-40 range most likely.
More than likely it will just be a wash and decon with a clay mit.

My question is what LSP application would you recommend in the cold weather?
I figure anything wipe on/of like a wax or sealant may be to difficult.
Was thinking maybe CarPro Hydr02 or Reload or Gyeon WetCoat might be a simple way to get a few months protection.

Please share your thoughts, thanks

Normal wash with hose = Hydro2. Done.

You prolly could use a sealant of choice or a wax or choice, just apply it with your barehands.

Park the vehicle where the Sun
will strike its panels...hopefully
that'll provide enough warmth,
to where their temp will rise to:
"the more acceptable range"

This. Super easy and you can literally protect the paint, glass, and wheels at the same time. I would wash, clay, wash, Hydr02 if it needs claying. Baggie test will be deciding factor.

What's your point about "bare hands"?

I'm guessing it's to keep whatever product he is using from freezing before it can bond to the paint?

its a loosing battle below freezing when washing cars outdoor

I just did a final coat of reload a few weeks ago when the temps were in the low 40s. No problems with the application.

Btw I applied it straight up using my DA with a red CCS pad. No hazing or streaking on my jet black paint

I used Optimum Car Wax yesterday at borderline freezing temps.

Only ended up doing part of the car because the rear of the car was icing over my rinseless wash when I got to it.
