I've found anything above mid-fifties is fine. Check product label.

Don't you have a garage with a heater?

Default Yes, but it take a while to heat the hole garage.

I do not heat it often, only when I wash the car, just to keep it hot enough to do not go below zero.

I use 1000 Grand Blitz Wax (paste) and find any temperature above 45 degrees is fine.
