Yeah, I just walked outside here in Tampa, and the rainy season has started and I live on a cypress preserve (swamp), you can cut the air with a knife.
It's 9:00am and 83 already.

I can't imagine living in AZ with the temps you have coupled with the humidity we have here in south GA, it's bad enough here when temps get in the upper 90's.

Re: Detail with good UV protection before temps go to 120!
I been wanting to give my wife's Jetta a quick polish with HD Speed, but with her car being black and the temps we have it is prolly gonna have to wait til fall....same goes for coating the z06....right now it's just trying to keep them clean and protected enough to get through the heat and monsoons.
I "compare" the summers here like the winters of the Midwest /Northeast, where u don't do much detailing....it's more like survival lol and getting through the weather with as little damage as possible.

And that's a really good point. I used 6 Orange pads, typically for a little car like the Fit, 4 would have been normal. I went through pads like crazy because the product dried up... I actually had to bust out my pad-conditioner and give a little spritz here and there.
Out here, UV protection (Both for cars and humans, dogs, etc...) is essential. I no longer care how long a product beads, (because it doesn't rain) but now I care about UV protection.

Looks great would love to have that heat with no humidity.

Exactly why I now do an Optimum Car Wax once in a while and do Optimum No Rinse and Wax. My main QD is now a mix of Optimum No Rinse and Wax also.

Re: Detail with good UV protection before temps go to 120!
yup it's brutal out here in the summer, which was why I completely shyed away from carnuba products....all synthetic/polycharged stuff for this guy....plus I like the hard candy glass look they give.
we definitely need to get a detail meet here this fall/winter.
