Strong Sunshine
 
Ok - advice needed

My drive is always, early morning to about an 1.5hr before sunset, blasted by the sun. This makes it a pain (or I dont bother) cleaning the car because of water drying and making the panels hot.

Cannot move the car round the back and there is no where else close by I can go.

Thought about a Gazebo but find the right size and not too painful to put up is hard ---

Am I missing something - is there something owt there that someone else uses?

Cheers

Dave.

Yup,

Clouds :thumb:

Seriously - clean it on dull days - must have some of those in the midlands :)

just never seem to be there when I have the time :)

I'd suggest early morning or late afternoon then, when temperature lower.

We've had a crap summer, so too much sunshine hasn't been a problem.

The last few times I have started (got car cleaning stuff out) to clean my car when the suns out and by them time I start washing the car, its clouded over...belgium.

No that winter is almost upon us, when you come to polish your car, start with the roof first then trunk, oh sorry, I mean boot lid, then bonnet because of the dampness in the air.

Same problem for me at home... so I wash the cars late in the evening on or dull days. If you have to work in the full sun, rinse the whole care after every panel and then dry off quickly at the end - works okay for me, even on our solid black C2. A quick detail afterwards helps take care of any remaining water spots. :)
