I personally wouldn't even attempt it and I live in hot and humid Florida.

+1 not the right product for that climate. CarPro says to use CQUK in temps up to 80F max.


If you have no choice, work in small areas, wipe on & wipe off. Do a test spot first to make sure you're not going to get yourself into a big mess. Of course, make sure the car is in complete shade and is cool to the touch.

Good luck.

And Zach is the man, when it comes to coatings his advice is second to none. :dblthumb2:

It would be in my garage (shaded) but nothing gets much cooler than 90 here during the summer shopwise

If you want to stick with the CarPro product line, CQuartz Classic would be much more user friendly in your climate.

There are also many other coatings outside of the CarPro product line that are easy to use in higher temps.

Polish Angel Invincible Primer and and Glasscoat Cosmic:

I did this in my garage and it was easily 105 and humid as all get up.

It's fool proof.

There is a way to use CQUK in hot temps as well,
you need to wipe of right after applying using the same still wet applicator on the grubby surface that started
to react on the surface , then to wipe off with our boa mf or the suede one.
see these 2 videos how we do it in very hot temps, :

About the best advice I can think of giving if you have a garage, is to coat the car very early in the morning while temps haven't gotten that high yet.

To have all prep done beforehand, and this means washing, Iron-X, Claying, Polishing, Eraser Wipe Down and finally Masking Trim, etc.

The processes I mention above can easily take one exhausting full day of work by one person if done right.

And I say this for just an average sized car. One can spend a lot of time just going back over the car to insure no Polish Residues are left behind in seams, jambs, all trim, etc.

I myself found it a bit hard when I once did my Tahoe, that after all the necessary prior processes were done to ready the paint for the coating, I was pretty taxed, and pushing myself to complete the job.

I feel in retrospect that it might be advantageous to be fresh, and not tired when applying a coating I myself could not both do the entire prep, and coat this SUV in one sole day. So, I "broke" the vehicle into two sections. I decided that I'd do the Roof first, got that completed, then went onto all lower body panels. The Roof truly was a PITA working on, up and down off a ladder throughout the entire process, with a large Rack which could not be removed.

That in the morning, all you might have to do is lightly, and carefully wipe the vehicle with a pristine clean MF Towel to rid the finish of any possible errant dusts. And as well at that point, one can easily do an additional Eraser Wipe Down as it will act as a lubricant while doing the final prep wipe before coating application.

should CARPRO lite also not be used in high temps with high humid, Florid?

[The Guz]

A coating won't be as user friendly in high temperature and humidity.
