Shade Necessary?
OK guys, the condition of the paint on my new 3rd gen needs some serious work.
I am in the process of researching and I am getting ready to order a Corey Cable and a buncha stuff from Griots. I've got everything lined out except...I really have no way of washing/polishing/waxing in the shade, is this going to be a problem? I hope not or I'm going to have to find somebody I know with shade so I can go over there and wax my rig there.
Thanks for the help!

If you have to work in the sun, you should use the Poorboys line of products. That's the only line I have found that is sun friendly http://www.poorboysworld.com/index.html
Search over at http://www.autopia.org/forums/index.php if you want to do some research.

find a parking garage or go tthe mall and park under some trees. Go to a local gas station on a sunday and ask if you can use their bay just to wax for like $10-20.
Find a cute umbrella girl.

Do the work early in the morning before the sun has a chance to heat up the paint. If necessary, wash it Saturday morning, detail it Sunday morning. I've found this to work just fine.
Of course, that was a few years ago... back when I actually cared about what my truck looked like.

Yeah...I park my car in the garage overnight so I could wake up pretty early, go out and do it then and if it gets too hot just park it back in the garage and carry on later that night or the next morning. Think that would work?

Yeah thats what I was going to say too...I could just keep an eye out for a clear morning and go for it.
OK cool...now I feel more comfortable spending the serious dough on all the supplies needed to do a good detail.

Yeah, I could but I don't really wanna be using the hose in the garage. I haven't finished reading the book yet so I'm not sure if that is involved but that would be my only concern.
