Another mobile detailer here since 2005. I have always used clean filtered water along with Meguiars Hyper Wash. Doesn't matter how hot it is I don't need to worry about water spots.

Spray wax or quick detailer should wipe up the waterspots during drying

I work in the sun a lot although I do have a canopy. I swear by 303 Products Speed Detailer. I use it on just about every job. Removes water spots and is a nice overall finishing spray. If you must work in direct sunlight, be fast and thorough with initial wash and dry, then small sections at a time when applying any kind of product so that you can finish each section before it becomes difficult to remove.

I've washed a black Suburban in 89 degree direct sunlight. I used ONR, worked top to bottom and worked small sections. I washed with a sponge and dried with a damp towel followed by a dry towel. This is the only way I wash in direct sunlight.

I understand. But how could you polish the paint in that heat?

Never, ever would I polish paint in heat like that. I'd either put a canopy up or not polish the paint. Some abrasives can be used in sunlight while others can't, but nothing can be used on a surface with that high of a temperature.
