ATL Heat, holy crap!

So I'm down in ATL, Peachtree City to be more specific and as usual I had a giant suitcase full of detailing stuff and a small carry on with clothes. The look on the eyes of the TSA people when my check bag went through the xray was priceless! hahaha. Anyway, detailing in this heat is almost staggering at times! I give you guys a lot of credit that work here for sure. Most of my trips down here have been in the spring or fall so the heat has never been a huge factor. Mad props to you guys!
 
Suck it up. Mid-90s and humid here. Work all day then put 100 or so miles on my road bike each week. I live for this weather. Sunny, hot and daylight to nearly 9 PM. :bow

I'm from NorthEast Ohio Scott, this kinda weather is pretty rare for us up there. The heat isn't usually bad, it's the humidity that'll kill ya!
 
Yeah it's just getting started. Last long detail (7hrs) I did, I probably drank 2 gallons of water (the customer kept a pitcher of ice water full for me). I dont think I even had to use the facilities the whole time. That's why they call it work, but I still love it.

I can't either. After 25 years of it me and my fiance are looking south possibly around Nashville where the winter is more moderate
 
Here in Oklahoma we've already gotten hot enough to rise a sweat, just by stepping outside. Not to mention my cars feel like a sauna by about 9 AM.



It's nice though, because this is the season when my business really picks up. People, tired of the early Summer heat, are ready to crack open their ViceGrip wallets and have their car done up. And lets face it. I could really use the sun and exercise!
 
It is has been very nice here in NC so far - seems like a cooler than normal May. It was hot one day (nearly broke a record of 92 or so) last week but it seems to be in the 80's with decent humidity.
 
I'm in S. Florida, and I can't imagine how the mobile guys around here do it without finding some shade. Summer is absolutely BRUTAL, not to mention the fact that the surface of the paint will fry an egg.

Actually, Dallas winters are far too cold for my tastes as well. Anything under 75 and I'm not too happy.
 
theres actually a few of us on here really close. Congrats on her graduation, she go to stars mill or mcintosh?



It has been hot, but luckily just putting in a few overhead lights along with a portable ac have made my garage somewhat bearable.
