When washing and waxing your car, direct sunlight can quickly cause a cleaning catastrophe and should be avoided if possible. Water spots appear at a rapid rate and are slow to fade when enough heat is applied. So keep that ride in the shade if you don’t want to spend valuable time buffing out blemishes. The same goes for a hot hood, which will instantly turn a sudsy bath into a spot-filled disaster if the engine beneath it is toasty enough. Keep it shady people. Your paint jobs will appreciate it.
