    I have a vehicle that's to big to fit in a garage and I dont have any shade outside till 6pm or so. What is the best way to go about doing this ?

    There are many products that are "sun-friendly".

    Griot's Creams fit the bill.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    I share a lot of tips in this how-to article from 2010 - that's 10 years ago in human years as I type.


    Tips for working in warm/hot weather or direct sunlight

    Looks like I'm using Blackfire 1 step!! That's some pretty solid confidence in a product, I'll definitely take that suggestion! Thanks so much!

    Re: Paint correction in the sun

    I always find AIO cleaner/waxes and/or cleaner/sealants to be the best option in sun or high heat conditions. They work well along a vast set of parameters, whereas compounds and polishes may require you to make too many modifications to have a better user experience.

    I’d make some suggestions but Mike recommended one of the best and I don’t want to dirty up the pool with too many others.

    Re: Paint correction in the sun

    I've had to work in the sun for a lot of years ,
    but if you have a decent location I would recommend
    working on the side that the sun is not on,

    then I would turn the car around and wait a little and then work on the other side.
    its always worked for me and by the time I do the top panels its around 5-7 pm which the sun is just going down .
    Only downfall is you have to constantly rinseless wash it to get any dirt or dust off before starting again depending on what type of
    correction you plan on doing.
