    Community Answer
    I've used it, and it has done the job, however it's likely to mess up your clothes as you brush against it getting in and out of your car, so wipe it down with a paper towel after applying so there's only the lightest coat on there.

    Alcohol will evaporate more slowly when it's cold. Chances are, you'll be able to get the key in the lock before the alcohol is gone.
