    New trick learned on detailing in 100+ heat....

    On mobile outdoor jobs I start at 8 and have the car washed and clayed by 9ish and it's still about 85... Then I polish it out and then work my way to the insides... Yes I'm sweating my ace off but so long as I can buff by 9:30 I'm good .... Now the secret to afternoon detailing ...
    When my afternoon jobs are outside I first stop at the gas station and buy me a 20lb bag of ice, dump it in my 100 gal tank (usually 30-50gal) pop up the 10x15 bring in the car, bring it in xand rinse it off with cool water and start my thing!
    Did it today when I said "this car is to hot and I need to cool it down" ... Mezkan ingenuity!
    Oh and some ice in the pump sprayer also helps to cool down the panels

    Let the comments begin!
