never wax in the sun ... always in a cool shaded area. you can just tell when the wax is dry ... if you started on your hood and worked your way around, by the time you're done ... the hood should be ready for buffing.

if you applied in a cool area, and then moved it to the sun, nothing too bad should have happened ... if you started buffing in the sun, that's not a good thing.

just messing w/ya:chuckles: it just makes it harder to remove, and can induce spotting too. if that happens, you just have to use more elbow grease to get rid of it, nothing big.

apply, and remove in the shade. never wax your car in the sun,

like said, it'll be a pain in the ass to get off correctly.

and the reason for that is the extra pressure you have to use to remove the wax, plus, doing it in the sun won't allow it to dry like it's supposed to,it'll stay tacky.
