Hello

I have been detailing for 30 years I am thinking about starting up a mobile service.I have always had my services in a shop i am wanting to know how to go about Buffing and waxing in Extreme hot conditions.

And is there any waxes on the market that are designs for heat applications.

Thank you

Welcome to Autopia, and good luck in your venture!



The Poorboy`s line, as well as Clearkote products, are designed to be used in the sun. They both offer a complete lineup from cleaners to polishes to wax/sealants. There are a few mobile pros on here that work in some pretty extreme conditions (Texas heat), so I am sure they can chime in. If I was working outside, at the very least I would invest in a quality canopy to give you some shade.

Do some reading on the subject matter. Some waxes begin to break down around 140 degrees. Sealants are a better choice.

You can use Poorboys Natty`s waxes in the sun, just be sure to spray the surface with a chilled quick detailer ( i use Fk425, or SCG hot rod detailer) before applying the wax. Once you apply the wax, use the wowo method.
