Hey guys and girls,



I used to post here a good bit ago in high school when I was literally obsessed with keeping my Maxima in tip top shape and detailing became one of my passions. I went off to college and got away from detailing, but now graduated and I'm ready to jump in again.



Here's my question. I live in an apartment where there is no readily available cover to detail my Xterra in and need to restock my inventory. I'm looking for some of the best products that will be the safest to use outside, potentially in the sun.



What I'm looking for is: a cleaner wax, pure carnauba wax (by hand/machine), light polish (by hand), then a couple of machine polishes (think i'm covered with SSR1 and SSR2).



Here's what I have right now:



-Meg's cleaner wax

-Meg's #26

-Meg's #16

-PB SSR1

-PB SSR2

-Autoglym EGP

-Autoglym SRP



After doing some research, I know Poor Boy products are safe to use in the sunlight. So I'm thinking, I need to pick up some Natty's and one of their polishes that's great to use by hand.



Any recommendations? I'm ready to be bitten by the detailing bug once again :waxing:



:thx
 
Optimum polishes supposedly can be used in the sun. Prima makes Banana Gloss Spray Wax which can be used in the sun.
 
Optimum's polishes work great in the sun. Clearkote's Carnauba Moose is fine even on black cars in the sun on 100 degree days.
 
I haven't tried them yet, but what about Poorboy's World products? One of their main promotion points on Autogeek is the ability to use them in the sun. Anybody have any experience with them?

I only have spray and gloss and spray and wipe from them.

They're okay in the sun but it cannot get too hot.



Converted to Fahrenheit that it it should exceed 90.



Otherwise, I can see it evaporating immediately before my eyes on black paint.

Sorry, I don't have a polish.
 
Prima Banana Gloss, as stated earlier is fully capable of being used in the sun. No matter what temperature its at, it will always instantly haze :)
 
I have used PB's Polish with Sealant and PB's Black Hole directly in the Sun with no problems. I haven't tried but heard Pinnacle and Prima products can be used as well.
 
I would think the most important aspect is the temperature of the paint. I have seen some products not advertised as full sun work in the work in full sun.
 
The Pinnicle's XMT line on autogeek is worth checking out. I was skeptical at first because I thought their packaging looked gimicky but after using XMT 360. Whoa.



By far one of the big surprises as far how well the stuff works -and it was all developed under the Florida sun.
 
Turtle Wax Ice, all the way. The silicone chemistry works much better in the sun than waxes based on solvents flashing off (which is what causes the wax to haze off hard on the finish).
