how do you guys go about doing corrections in the sun? what methods do you use when doing a panel to cool down the surface?

Poorboys products working in small areas, or buy a canopy :)

I use a 12x12 EzUp canopy that came with side curtains. If the vehicle doesnt fit in the canopy I just do a panel at a time

You may want to check into the Pinnacle XMT Series, it says it can be used in the sun.

I don't do corrections in the sun--usually the panels are too hot---many correction products don't fare too well under those conditions...and neither do I!

I feel that since there are many reasons one shouldn't wash vehicles in the sun, that many of those same reasons are applicable to corrections in the sun.

I wish AG would sell canopies.

As an old guy I was going to say........
Wear a long sleeve shirt, a broad brim hat and plenty of sunblock.
But then you are not MY grandkids.

But I always wait for the sun to go away, use a canopy, or hire some young ladies with umbrellas.

I bought Poorboy's stuff so I could work in the sunlight. I have a carport so I could use that, but I could see the defects better in the sunlight. So I go to use the first step polish and the panel is so hot the polish just turned to sludge after just a few seconds. The ROP could barely turn.

So, while you can use Poorboy's stuff in direct sunlight, if the panel is hot the performance is bad.

Get yourself a collapsible white canopy, Set it up securely to ensure "it" doesn't move if a gust of wind comes up. Drive the car under it and get to work! :laughing:
