Tom sorry for the empty mail before..
Phil,
 
It doesn't get very cold here so I don't have a lot of information on cold
weather polishing. From GAS's comments, it would appear that the main problem
is
that the polish gets to stiff. I suspect that the heat from friction at the
point where the pad contacts the surface warms things up enough to make the
polishing process work. But it could make removal of the residual polish
difficult. After hand-wiping the surface with an old towel to remove as much
residual
polish as possible, I do a wipe-down with mineral spirits to remove
the remaining polishing compound from around rivet heads and seams. This
method should
still work in cold weather but the process will go more slowly.
 
I'll ask Nuvite if they have any suggestions.
