wax temp

[mrjwhit]

Let me ask you a question. I had a person call me to do a limo today. I was really excited cause I had been making $ all day and this would push me up to my goal for 1 day earnings. It's Black. It had been sitting in the parking lot all day. It was nearly 82 degrees. You can tell this is going to be bad. Ok so I pull out my EZ UP and do my darnest to cool down the surface of the car. I washed it and clayed it by constantly showering water on it. It worked well. When it came to polishing and waxing it I moved the limo under the canopy and wiped it down with towels until I thought the surface had cooled. I did about a 2 foot section then wiped it off and moved to another section. Here is my question: What is the right temp to wax in, or is a direct sunlight thing?

I don't know what the exact temp is for applying wax, but I always use the hand test. If I'm able to hold my hand flat on the surface that I'm about to wax for 3-5 seconds, then it's probably okay to apply wax. If I can't hold my hand there, then I apply the wax in extremely small sections and remove immediately. Not a very scientific approach but it seems to work as a general rule.

You may want to try some Poorboys. All of his products are safely applied in the sun.
