sometimes i need to polish a car when a customer doesnt have a garage and because i dont have a canopy. can i do this im using menzerna FPII or 106ff someitmes more agressive if needed. the work time is really short bc it is hot. i no you can create swirls when the clear gets to hot but is their any other potential dmage other than shorter work times.





what can i do to make the product work in longer spray quick detailer???



im using a rotary by the way



thanks
 
I had to do this today and I hated it, but the good thing is that the car wasn't badly swirled so I didn't have to get aggressive with it. I used DG105 and it did well, I can only imagine how much easier it would have been had I been able to apply and remove it on a cool surface, but even in direct sunlight it was a piece of cake.



I don't know about the polishes you listed cause I have never used them, maybe someone else can chime in.

I think you just sold me on Optimum Polish. I've been wanting to get it for a while, and since i'm mobile there's gonna be times when i'm gonna have to do my details in the direct sunlight.
 
Just because the optimum polishes are, "sun friendly," doesn't mean they won't have issues when working in the sun. For instance, the panels will get hot and it may cause some troubles, especially for a rotary because it generates heats. I am in no way knocking optimum as I use the polish frequently. What I do in full sun is first check the temps on the panels. This can just be done by the touch. Do the coolest panels first and leave the warmer ones until the end. Heat has a way of messing with products, so just try to avoid it.
