doweigyman Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm wanting to use my new PC but I don't have access to a garage, carport or shed. But being in bama I have plenty of shade trees. Any tips on how I can pull this off until I can find something to pull my rides in? Thank you for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJets77 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I bought one of those folding 10x10 tents at Walmart - kind you see at tailgating parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 All of Adam's products you can use in the sun,at all of the shows we work in the sun, but if you can find shelter it would be better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'd advise against working under a tree... one stray drop of sap, a bird bomb, pollen, twig, or anything else coming off the tree could wreak havoc on your finish if it got under the pad. The products will work out in direct sun as Chris mentioned, though they will make you work MUCH harder. The pop up shelter is a great way to go... they're relatively inexpensive and can easy to move around to shade the areas you're working on. Also, start as early in the day as you can to avoid the harshest sunlight and heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodmanXX3 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 start as early in the day as you can to avoid the harshest sunlight and heat. that would be my suggestion although the pop up tent is a good one as well... but the "wake up early and get it done before the sun comes up option" is free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redvenm Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Under a tree is absolutely out of the question. Within minutes, if it is hot, I have sap dropping out of the trees from my house. Next to a building if possible might provide some shade for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincenzo Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Local DIY car wash place? I went out at like 3am to one once. Washed, clayed, fmp'd, and put on a layer of Americana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordgrey Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Heya Chris! My Coupe is living proof that a full polish and sealant/wax can be done outdoors in direct sunlight. Even if the operator isn't as sunproof as the magical Adam's product line..........LOL!!! http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12757 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcarrot Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Well the 3am part would suck, but doing it when it's not high traffic is the smart idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2hill Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 REALLY??? 3am??? Don't you guys sleep? OK, glad to see that I am not the only one with issues!!! Ian is still young enough to enjoy being up at 3 AM! If I am up that late/early something is broken, and I am dialed into a customer site debugging code.

mbreyer Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm in the same boat and can say that the only product you have to worry about is MSS, check the weather for rain during curing. Otherwise it always works out, DS during drying to get rid of water spots and all polishes waxes seem to work great compared to the other guys even at 115% heat index and direct sun at 4pm. Dylan is right you do have to work harder but it beats being the guy running his pc at 3 am:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
