    Best detail spray to use in direct sun on hot paint?

    I live in a very hot, sunny climate. It is routinely over 100 degrees during the summer. I have no choice but to park my car outside in the driveway all the time. I wash my car early in the morning before the sun and heat are at their highest. But I do often need a detail spray to clean cat paw prints, dust, pollen, etc in the later afternoon. I recently tried a detail spray, which I will not name since it is not sold on AG. Despite my best of efforts to spray in a small area and wipe quickly, it still left a ton of streaks.

    Can anyone recommend a detail spray that works well in direct heat/sun on hot paint? I am looking for something that will clean without leaving streaks.

    Thank you,
    joebruin77

    When I have to use a QD/spray in direct sun (like to remove a bird bomb,etc.), Griot's Speed Shine works well and does not streak IME.

    I always use a high GSM (plush) micro fiber for the final wipe as well.

    I know Griots Best of Show Detailer was made for being used in full sun - I’d give that a go.

    I have that as well, and you are correct.

    I think Speed Shine is a just a little slicker though......

    Wolfgang Uber diluted as QD works well in direct sun and hot paint. No streaking.
