Why can't I detail in the sunlight?

hey joed1228, i detail in the direct sunlight almost exclusively. i pretty much don't have a choice. the others are right about the polish drying up quickly and being very very tough to get off. the conditions you mentioned are what i dream of working in. the Summers down here in New Orleans are usually 95+ degrees with 100% humidity - heat index reaches 105 and up regularly. that's what detail in the direct sunlight - ANY color vehicle. my tent needs 2 people to pop up and doesn't quite cover the entire vehicle( 8'x12' ). anyway, what i do if the polish gets to tough to get off i simply go back over that one spot w/the buffer and a little more polish then remove immediately - it works, trust me. your conditions are perfect by my standards. have fun! :bounce
 
With regards to applying products in the sun, all you guys have it wrong. Leave it to Bill to find the REAL REASON to not work in the sun. Come on guys!
 
Bill Lessard -- the solution is very simple:



1. Drink the beer rapidly, before it can warm up

2. Replace with a cold one, fresh from the refrigerator

3. Begin again at step 1

while ( !refrigerator.isEmpty( kBeer ) )
{
    var myBeer = new Beer();
    myBeer.open();
    while ( !myBeer.isEmpty() )
    {
        //
        // Rate for consume() method is 1oz. To change
        // rate, pass new rate (in ounces) as an argument to
        // consume().
        //
        myBeer.consume( 1 );

        //
        // Delay. Currently set for one minute (in millisecs); adjust
        // up or down for desired effect . . .
        //
        self.pause( 60000 )
    }

    //
    // Beer is empty; discard.
    //
    myBeer.can.recycle();
    delete myBeer;

    //
    // Cleanup . . .
    //
    self.belch();
    if ( self.gottaGo() )
    {
        self.relieve( 1 );
        toilet.flush();
    }

    //
    // End of loop, back to the top.
    //
}

I've had that routine executing for a while this evening (and refrigerator.isEmpty() is rapidly approaching <span style='font-family: courier new'>
"true" :D); please forgive the silliness. Perhaps I gave another slightly inebriated computer geek a chuckle.

Have a good weekend . . .

Brings me back to sophmore and junior year of high school. Those two years I was fulfilling the need to complete the schools most difficult course, computer programming with C++ (2 years by itself and needed to take the two year pre req. courses which did nothing but teach you how to turn on the computer and turn it off, well I did learn bits of html and MS office/Font Page, I skipped the second year because I basically knew what I was doing, the second year being Q basic.)



Now I am in my senior year and choose not to enter the programming world. Oh well, it wasn't a complete waste since I understand your piece of programming. Just gotta sub juice boxes in for the beer cans.



Back to the subject, I think someone said the surface would be too hot so the product will set up too quickly and not do what it was supposed to do. Like the 3M polish would dry before its abrasives were broken down. Rubbing this off would probably cause more marring of the surface.
