Just want to stress how hard it is to get was off your car if you leave it on for too long in the sun!! I've been told not to wax the car in the sun, is this true??
very true do not wax on hot days with lots of sunlight
a nice dull day is the time. Wink_1
or do it very early in the morning when the sun is not at its strongest
with cloud cover
I would avoid it too, although depends on the wax.

Either way only put a very thin layer on at a time & build it up that way. Most people have trouble as they put too much on at once then is a sod to buff off.
I'm using Blue Velvet wax at the moment, which is very good for my black . .


My current wife drives a white car . What is the best Dodo Juice for this. .
I use super natural on my white car but purists will tell you to use a sealant
What's the clue with sealant is another form of wax or can you wax the seal?

No you don't wax it, sealant is just another form of protection & seals the shine on the paintwork.
Ah ok so which is better wax or sealant?

Or is all based on car colour.

Based on car colour... wax gives a wetter look but think sealants give better durability... you won't get much shine from white hence recommending a sealant.
Thanks for the advice . Very true about the white caar not shinning the way other colours do . .


So , what is a good sealant . .
If you have to, only put a very thin layer on. I love Poorboys world products as they are designed to be used in the sun. Natty's Paste wax is good used in the sun.
Yeah, I feel your pain. I was all motivated and wacked on the polish in little circles. Did the whole car, then...the panic as it I realise that Ill be all afternoon buffing it back.

I will be doing single pannels at a time from now on, and never in the sun.

Looks beautiful though. Rain rolls off like a dream.
autoglym HD WAX is very good never had any issues even on a sunny day
I find the Meguiar's range very good in the sun.
