Detailing question

What’s the best time of day to detail a car?

Morning shade is optimal โ€” paint is cool, no direct sun, no afternoon humidity. Mid-afternoon direct sun is the worst โ€” soap dries before rinsing and leaves streaks, polish flashes off, hot panels make every product behave differently. NC summer afternoons are especially bad โ€” combine direct sun with 90+ degree heat and you lose product working time entirely. Mobile detailers favor 7 AM to 11 AM service slots in summer.
