I think because the sun can effect the wax.

yeah I just did it and it didnt seem to hurt anything

try the clear silicone it is much faster to put on and looks like a liquid shine afterwards. Much better than wax.

it dries faster so it doesn't allow the wax to work at its optimum level. better do in hot weather in the shade, but if u don't mind being quick the difference isnt too big.

^^^^ Yup. It's just the drying of the wax or polish.

When I was a detailer (years ago) they wouldn't even let us use a clay bar outside. Everything should be done in the shade.

it bakes the wax to the car, leaving a poor finish

outside is not ideal, especially when washing. Wait til the sun goes down or go inside the garage.

so theres like these little black dots of residue on my paint,... they can be scratched off with my nails, but theyre all over. Really small. Is this what I get for waxing it in the sun? Now I'm gonna have to clay bar the shit. Shoulda been nicer to my 10K paint job.
