I remember trying to wash my old 205 GTi as it was going on to be used by Top Gear the next day and it was filthy. The weather was freezing so normally I would not have bothered, but needs must and all that, fine at the washing stage with nice warm water, came to rise it off with cold water and all the droplets froze before I could dry it off. Car was hanging by the time I drove down there anyway and needed rewashing so I should have not bothered.

As long as the panels are dry and not freezing cold to the touch you should be fine. Depends on what product you use. Any wax or sealnt that needs to stand for a while before removal will be a nightmare. A wipe on wipe of carnuba wax like P21s will probably be fine.
Worth investing in a spray wax/sealant type product at this time of year. I use Prima Hydo, Optimum Car Wax or Duragloss Aquawax. Easy to use when it is damp, cold and some can be used on wet paint.
