Question if anyone is aware. It does matter if you apply it in cold?
Purchased some Adam's 1 year ceramic coating. Their cheaper one few weeks back.

Currently only place to do it is outside, and it's around 0-5c. Should I wait till spring to do it?

Um, why not ask Adamspolishes .
I'd think they would know their product and they are a ramforum member.

If the instructions don't specifically say not to apply it above a certain temp, it should be OK. I'm not familiar with this product though. If it's a true ceramic coating (i.e. not a spray on), it will likely take longer to flash in that low of a temp, so be prepared for that.

Yes any temp is fine. I find it quicker to do it when it is 50-60* It seems to take longer in below 55* temps to rainbow.

Just make sure it is not too humid or the moisture from the cold is not bad ... best way to see if it's ok to apply a ceramic coating is to spray a panel with an IPA solution ... if it takes a long time to dry after you apply it on the panel with a microfiber towel then it is not ok to apply a ceramic coating ....

Besides the first post. Thanks all for the response.
Thinking I'm going wait until spring to do my truck.
Going practice on one of cars first.
I did check with Adams before posting. But wanted to see if anyone else had real experience.
Raining/Snow/Cold, might as well wait.

They responded to my email, and said same as KKBB said above.
Any temp was fine. But not when snowing. wasn't recommended to do outside if it was windy.
