Washing when it's hotter than two butt cheaks pinched together outside!

[CAPiTUL]

Okay, so I'm in FL and the heat is already here full force (well, almost full force, still a little bit to go, BUT hotter than haitis already!). When I'm washing, the car is drying before I'm even done. Sometimes, the soap actually dries on the car because it's so damned hot!

Ideas?

I keep sprinkling the car with more water from the hose as I finish the washing. That way it never really dries up.

wash 1 little area at a time (1 side of the car) and try to park the car in the shade

I always wash in the shade

Sheeet, I try to wash in the shade. Doesn't matter much when it's still 88+ in the shade. I may have to resort to very early morning washings, but that only leaves the weekends. Don't realllllllllllly wanna get up at 6am on Saturdays or Sundays if ya know what I mean.

Then go to a touchless car wash and towel dry right after

And I thought it was bad when it is 70 and sunny in Oregon! That would be the pits. You could was it at dusk or right after it cools down at night. Of course, I don't know how much it cools down in Flordia if any.

Wash panels at a time, starting from top, then hood, then trunk then sides... then rims....

That's what I do but I always start with the rims. The wheel cleaner I use recommends that it goes on when the wheels are cool and dry. Believe it ir not, it really makes a huge difference. If you do them last, they will be wet for sure.

Just for your basic wash take it to one of those "do it yourself" places and dry it there too. Plus most of those places are open at night and have literally no waiting. Wax it later in a cool place (garage, yard)
