Mobil Auto Detailers. Experience please

[asalesagent912]

I am mobile and have been since 2005. I do rims and tires first, Then do the bugs on front of car, After that I wash the roof, hood, trunk lid and side that has shade on it first then go around and do other side. When drying I start with the side that has the sun on it and do windows first, hood, roof trunk lid and side of car with sun. Just gotta move fast.

lol word for word i do it exactly the same way.
I dont do mobile but thats how i do it in my drivway

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.
