Default waxing in cold weather

I want to use Daddy-O's 2 step method of cleaning (S100 cleanser and s100 carnuba wax) on my 99 Black Gs 400. But it is freezing here in the northeast (15-20 degrees). Can you apply these products in the cold?

I'm not sure how using these products became a "2 step method of cleaning".

You still have to wash your car...then use these products.

The S100 Shine-enhancing Cleanser is a pure polish for painted surfaces. It improves surface gloss by removing old wax, minor spotting and swirl lines before waxing.

As far as using them when it's 15º-20º, I wouldn't do it simply because it's too cold for comfort. I'm not going outside at those temps to polish and wax my car. That's why I live in NC. Today, it was 60º.

Any Northerners have advice regarding this question?

I'm not a Northerner, but every wax I've ever used has suggested that it not be used in temps less than around 55 F.

Plus, as you pointed out, it's too darn cold!!!!!
