I`m guessing it is in the 90`s in my garage, I`ve cracked the doors to get some airflow, but I`m having trouble with the polish drying out.



Should I work in smaller segments or is it just "wait `til it is cooler"?

Wait to its cooler.Most polishes will dry up in when the temps are high except for optimum(spelling) polishes and even then i think its just to hot.

wow! You`re already having problems with 90s? What about here in Phoenix where it`s in the 100s?!

Try some QD to allow for a bit more work time. 90`s is pretty hot though to be polishign a car.

What about some of the products that you`re supposed to be able to use in direct sunlight like the Poorboy`s World line? Would they work better in higher temps?



I haven`t tried them myself. Just a thought.

Wow - I am in NC also, and even when it is in the 90`s outside, It is only in the low 80`s in my garage.

I just realized you said you "cracked the doors for some airflow". Are you working in your garage with the doors almost closed during hot weather? If so, why not just open the doors completely and let some air in?

i`d agree, on days when its the high 80`s my garage stays pretty comfortable until at least 1pm. only have trouble 2 or 3 weeks in august when night lows don`t drop past 75.
