Not all of us are privileged to work in an enclosed, sometimes air-conditioned, environment and we must deal with the element when detailing. For those of us who detail in the sun and what other conditions Mother Nature throws our way, I thought I'd get a comprehensive list going of what products are safe to apply/use in the sun, whether it be stated on manufacturer's directions or from personal experience/recommendation.

• Poorboy's World entire product line (it seems AFAIK)
• Optimum Hyper Compound, Compound, Polish, Car Wax
• Danase entire product line
• Duragloss entire product line
• Zaino
• Pinnacle
• Chemical Guys Scratch & Swirl Buff

That's the only one off the top of my head that I can think of right now as I'm in a hurry to ONR my car for a wedding I'm going to, LoL. Feel free to chime in and I'll update the original post appropriately.

Optimum polishes, Opt Car Wax, Danase products and Duragloss say they can be applied in the sun

Denzil, I can tell you that from my experience, Menzerna IP isn't much good in the heat. It got all gummy on me and I had to stop - turned the consistency of half-dry Elmer's glue.

Might be better with a rotary? I was using a PC at the time.

	PC Porter-Cable Orbital Buffer 7424 or 7336. One of the most famous tool used by a variety of detailers, from weekend warriors to professional detailers.

Zaino's stuff does pretty well in the sun.

I am pretty sure most Pinnacle products can be applied in the sun

My advice is to get an EZup shelter. Even if you only get a 10x10, you can do the front half and then the back half of the vehicle and stay out of the sun. Solve the original problem. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, I have one myself but not everyone can truly afford this luxury. Actually, it would be even better to have two E-ZUPs and put them right next to each other to have a makeshift 10x20, hehe. Just have to make sure you have the appropriate weights to hold them down.

I've got a steel 10x20 and two 10x10 aluminums and yes they need to be tied down at times. I run tie-downs from the canopy to the car frame.
