If it needs waxing, do it.   I'd probably use a liquid though.

Just remember the wax will cure/harden quicker. Leaving it too long will make it hard to remove.

In lower temps (esp raised humidity) wax doesn't adhere properly and won't cure properly. Depends a lot on the wax's properties though.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Well iv just given it a wash and it looks like the summer mix of dodo juice hard wax with jetseal 109 is holding up pretty well. Im going to hold off doing it "properly" until i get into my brothers heated garage!  :signLOL:

I tend to stick to spray waxes in winter. Cold, damp air isn't good for waxing.
