In Florida we have alot of direct sunlight and heat ... some of the best are Z8, Fk425, and even Liquid Glass did pretty well. Poorboys Spray/Gloss is hit or miss. With a damp car in sunlight it works very well, on a dry vehicle is dries quite quickly.

Just picked up CG Spray Wax that supposed to lengthen existing wax protection. Says to apply on a MF then wipe on hot car.

Does this apply to other QDs?

FK 425 does not do good on hot surfaces or sun..it even says on the bottle..avoid using in direct sunlight and use on cool surfaces....I used 425 and it does streak on hot surfaces....

it dries very fast on heated surfaces...I have not seen many QD's that do good on hot surfaces....not warm but hot...like over 125 degrees...

read your bottle....

Bill...I am in the shop and I looked at my bottle of a QD...
CG's Extreme Slick Synthetic -Acrylic Polymer Detailer (Anti-Static)

I have not used it yet...but it does say..designed to perform even in hot, humid climates without streaking, cloudiness or hazy patches...

So this may be one ....but again..hot climate and hot paint is 2 different animals

AL

All my qd'ers from FCS, FK425, Spray and Gloss etc streak if used directly in the sun on a hot surface (on dry vehicle, never used any on a wet one). If anything my Megs QD'er (regular red bottle) streaks the least in the sun and hot surface. As long as I'm not directly in the sun, it can be 100 degrees and I don't have issues.

Try to spritz your towel and not the paint.
