    Question too hot to order? clean? wash?

    anyone else waiting for it to cool down a bit before ordering more products?

    seem to have problems with aerosol cans not wanting to make it after being exposed to heat that is extreme.

    forecast for this week has temps lingering at 105-110.
    july was 100+ for 23 days.
    august is forecast-ed to match that number.

    everything is on track to break the record for most 100+ deg. days in a calender year.

    looking at the forecast, Houston is around 10 degrees cooler each day for the next 10 days!

    I did a detail on Saturday, the car was reporting 104 and was humid as anything. I just took lots of breaks, drank lots of water, didn't push myself.

    That being said, I think I lost 5 pounds from sweating so much.

    Sunscreen and water and sunglasses.

    Do one panel at a time so you dont have water spotting issues.

    I haven't been waiting, but I should...I'd actually have money vs. credit if I waited.

    I worked last night at 9pm to wash the car, tolerable then.

    And it's never too hot to order products

    I wish I could do that... humidity here is about 90%+ at 9 pm.

    Did my mothers car for her this Saturday, asked her to show up at 9:00 finished it up around 2:30, It was a Iron-X, wash, clay, one step polish with 205 hand applied Collinite 476s for the topper. It was full shade under the canopy's but hot and humid as can be, I was soaking wet from head to toe and pretty much spent. The heat sure takes the enjoyment out of it.

    Maybe you can ask for Autogeek to use a larger box than normal and center the product on a bed of peanuts. Just a couple of inches of those foam peanuts should insulate the product from outside head quite nicely.
