When are you all going to do a final clean and winter protective polish?

The weathers starting to turn so I'm thinking of getting this done shortly. Do you all go the whole hog with paint clean, polish and wax?

Done.

Will it not be too cold/damp in November to get a true coat?

If the weather stays fine probably doing a proper job on mine in the next couple of weeks, before the weather starts to turn and while it's still light to a reasonable time.
