Too cold to polish/wax?

I've got a new 2010 TSX and have been trying to keep it out of the northeast Ohio weather until I've had a chance to polish/wax it. Problem is, there haven't been too many warm days to do it. Any issues with doing it at low (30-40 degree) temperature?

Waxes take longer to cure in cold weather, and I think polishes have some issues with it too, maybe not breaking down properly. It's possible, but just a pain. If I were you, I'd just protect it with a wax or sealant, and leave polishing/paint correction till spring. It's not that far away.

I was thinking about DuraGloss #101 or #111. More of a sealer than a polish. Thoughts?

Yeah, but it's unheated. Guess I can haul the kerosene torpedo heater from the outbuilding and fire it up. Just don't like the smell . . .
