Looking for a wax that can be applied in cold winter weather

AK370Z · 02-23-2012, 02:20 AM

i usually use the touchless car wash places at least once a month to keep the Z looking new in our horrible Northeast winter. Last week, I found a self washing area that gives me a good 5 minutes of powerwash like force of water and soapy suds etc for only $2.25! . So, I was thinking if the outside temp. is around 40-50 degrees, I rather just wash it in the self wash bay with a wash mitt as I will have much better cleaning results and cost is about 1/2.(2x 5 min cycle of $2.25) However, after washing, I want to coat it (quickly applicable) with a wax/sealant if I can. I most certainly know that I can't use the regular waxes in freezing winter weather. Do you guys suggest any wax or sealant that can be applied in winter or cold temperature? One of the most important feature this wax must have is quick buffing capability as I do not want to stay in cold weather for hours.

upon some research, I found this one :

Description
1Z einszett Glanz Wax (16,9 fl oz)

Glanz Wax is an advanced synthetic wax formula utilizing the latest in German polymers for exceptional long-lasting protection with a high gloss finish. Protects paintwork for up to six months from harsh environmental influences such as soot, acid rain, UV rays, sap, bird droppings, car washes, road and ocean airborne salt. Can be applied in temperatures as low as 0 degrees F for winter protection. Abrasive-free formula is for use on all paintwork finishes.

Preparation

Apply on paint that has been washed, dried, and polished

Paint should be cool to the touch and out of direct sunlight

Never apply wax over entire car and then attempt to buff off. Work only sections at a time. If you do the entire car and can't remove the product because it has become too dry, simply apply fresh wax over dried wax and buff off. DO NOT try to scrub dry wax off of surface or you may scratch the surface.

What you need:

Applicator:
Foam applicator pad or microfiber towel
Microfiber towel to buff off wax

With an applicator foam pad or clean microfiber towel, pour an amount about the size of a quarter onto applicator and spread onto paintwork surface with no pressure. Apply in a 3 square foot area at a time. Allow wax to dry to a haze (no more than 1-3 minutes) and buff off with a clean microfiber cloth towel. Repeat process until car is complete. Remove any wax residue on plastic trim.

Tip:

If you smearing appears on dark colored cars this is a result of too much or too little wax applied. Simply spritz the surface with water and buff off with a clean microfiber towel. Any remaining smears will disappear within 24 hours.

What you think? Any suggestions?

While I haven't used Glanz, I know a few detailing guys that swear by it. They highly recommend it. Go for it!

Glanz sounds pretty good! And it has a boring, non-flashy packaging so you know it means business!
