Default Waxing at night and moisture?

Only time i can wax my car is after I wash it which is right before it gets really dark. At that point the moisture builds up everywhere since I live out in the boons. Will moisture be a problem while waxing?

yes, the car needs to be dry before waxing or it wont buff out nice and clean. The only thing you can do is try to find a garage to work in or wait for a night with really low humidity

Thats nearly impossible here in Florida where its always humid at night expecially when I live inbetween swamps. BAHA

What do you think about canopies to cover the car from sunlight so I can do all this during the day?

I wouldnt mind waxin in the sun although I must wash the car first and that is done best while not in direct sunlight. I did it once and that was the last time. Water spots galore.. made it look like I never washed it. People asked me when I was going to wash it even though I did.

Got any ideas on what Canopies are good?

what kinda soap you using? Ive never had a problem with spots in the sun. As far as canopies go, dont think it matters so long as it covers the whole car, idealy one with drapes down the side would be good to prevent much sun from any direction.
