I noticed on my OS bottle that it should be used between 55 and 90 degrees. My question is: Can it be used below 55 degrees? I am guessing it will increase drying time, etc? Just curious, as I would like to add coats over the winter.

Thanks!

Hey Brett,

I had found that in my beta testing OS would streak more in cold weather BUT if you're in your garage and it's at least 50 degrees you should be just fine. Any streaking was taken care of with some extra buffing with a microfiber.

So it works in colder weather but it just takes some extra care in application.

I have used OS in 20 degrees with no problem. My problem is I can't get it not to streak in any temp. its only minimal and wipes up easily with a MF ( won't stop me from using it ).

I used OS last week when it was about 35 degrees and it still worked really well. It didn't dry as fast but there were no problems.
