Hey guys!! I live in pa and we're about to get some warm days 50f and I really really wanna wash and wax my car, so my question here is, is that temperature warm enough for me use wax?

You shouldn't have a problem detailing with those temps. Some synthetic waxes require warmer temps and dry weather for 12 hours. Just make sure you clay so the wax can actually adhere to the paint.

When I'm in doubt about the ease of removing auto wax under iffy conditions (humidity can be a big issue), I'll test it first. I'll wax a 2 foot square segment on a door panel below the belt line. That will show me how readily it buffs out. If unsuccessful, it's below the line of sight and virtually invisible. Then I'll wait for a better day.
