I've been neglecting my MINI for a few weeks. Not only is the AC broken in it, but it's been over 100 all week!

Do any of you wash your car in 100+ weather? I just can't do it!!

Arizona weather dictates either sunrise or after sunset.

 

yah, i rather stay inside and have some hagdaz coffee icecream.

 

Water Temp. should be right nice to hose yourself down before you wash your MINI!!

sunrise!

 

sunrise or sunset for me if the weather is that hot.

 

If you are wondering if high temps are an issue for the car to wash it, the answer is, no. Direct sunlight is what you need to avoid when washing a car, as 2 things can happen. First the water will dry to fast, and you will likely end up with water spots. Second, the water droplets can act like lens, causing problems to the clear coat.

yah, i heard about intense sun can cause the water droplets to act like a magifying glass.

im glad i live in a much cooler place ...where we have
snow and salt. looks like we all have our
issues...

 

try using Optium no risne. (ONR) I wash my car anytime I want I just do one panel at a time when its SUPER hot. I even have washed the whole car at once in 100+ and had ZERO waterspots.
