It depends on your maximum temperature. I waxed a motorhome this past weekend and it was overcast with some direct sun and about 54 degrees. I used Megs Flagship Premium Marine/ RV Wax. Great for the fiberglass/gelcoat surface.
Let us know how it goes.

A little overwhelmed about what to charge but anyway the job here is actually to wax the roof which is plastic I believe. The clearcoat has come of and the owner doesn't want to re-clearcoat.
Are you doing this by machine?
Do you have some kind of scaffolding set up to work at higher elevations?
What color is what's left of the roof?
Hi Mike, Yeah, I'm climbing all over these things every day. I use "A" type Werner Extension ladders. They're very stable. most of this work will be sitting up on top.
The color of the plastic is very light beige. There are a few spots where the clear coat has stayed on but I'm just going to wax over it.
Thanks for jumping in on this. Bye the way, if you need any help on your 101 102 class days coming up I'll be glad to help in any way. Only a few minutes away.
PC 7424XP, I have LC flat pads and low profile hydro tech. I've never tried CCS. I'm doing this tomorrow so I'll be in direct sun all day.
Without seeing the surface you're working on it's hard to say what's needed and what will work best but my best guess would be a mild cleaner/wax and then you can adjust your pad aggressiveness or non-aggressiveness to your taste. A few test spots will steer you in the right direction.
XMT 360 wipes off easily after it's been applied, Poorboy's has a long time reputation of a line of products that can be used in direct sun.
Whatever you use, a good one-step cleaner/wax would be the way to go, that way you only have to go over the roof once.
Maybe take terry cloth towels with you to wipe the wax off instead of microfiber towels. The nap of a quality cotton terry cloth towel offers a lot of bite for loosening and removing wax residue in situations like this.
Sounds like you have a plan of action... be sure to share a picture or two...

Man I've been out of the loop for awhile, not sure what LNB is, but in the past I used Natty's Blue and Aquawax spray with no problem in the sun.Liquid Natty's Blue is great in the sun. I've applied it in 85 degree weather and it wipes off fine.
I also think Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant (yes I spelled it out!) works very well in the heat.
