Hi guys. I dunno if this is the right thread.. This is the one I think that's most relevant by far.. Anyways, I applied Mother's FX Engineered SynWax yesterday to my car. Where I live is not really too friendly for its paint cause we don't have a shaded parking area. I only park my car outside. So I have 2 possible options to place it: 1.) under the tree, protected from UV rays BUT can accumulate a lot of bird droopings and tree sap on a single day, OR 2.) under direct sunlight, no bird droopings or tree sap BUT highly prone to oxidation. So which one do you think is the lesser evil? Hehe. I was once told by my friend that bird droopings and tree sap contains acid that damages the top coat of the paint. Is this true? So does that makes option 2 better? Looking forward for your feedback guys. Thanks in advance.
Where to best park my car after putting on Mother's FX Engineered SynWax: under the tree or under direct sunlight?

I would take the sunlight rather than under the tree if you are constantly getting bird droppings.
Dropping can etch paint quickly while the sun's effects are slower.

:exactly:
Sunlight VS bird poop and sap .... definitely sunlight. The sunlight will have minimal effects on your car if it is properly maintained, sap and poop on the other hand ....

Sun, forget the tree. Your friend is correct about the sap & bird poo.

People at work have commented that I always pick the "hottest" parking spot. They also comment on how clean and shiny my car is. Cause and effect?

Back in the "good ol' days" we used to let a freshly waxed car sit in sun all day, then hose em with water to "harden" the wax.
