So, recently I decided it was the day to start a mini detail on my 2007 Chevy Avalanche, late July in Florida :eek:

Maybe a bit too warm, in the shade it's:-

Usual Snow Foam

Power Wash off and a rinse:-

Washed with Meguiars Classic Gold, It's so hot that the soap dries almost immediately

So, gotta rinse off after washing each panel:-

Moved the truck into the garage to get away from the sun, put the wax on the roof outside and by the time i got to buffing it off the wax had dried so hard it took me an hour alone to do the roof :buffing:

All in 3 hours, should know better to do it at that time of year

Finally got round to finishing off the waxing, defo not to be repeated in this weather:-

Even though the pictures don't show it, the paintwork is in a terrible state and i'm hoping to attend the September Autogeek school to understand the way to use the power tools for correction etc.

Thanks for looking :xyxthumbs:
 
Cool Avalanche, I have one also and live in Florida. I feel the pain. If I am not out there at 6am its a rinseless in the garage. I mow the grass also at 6am. Im sure the neighbors love that but its already in the 80's at 6am!
 
definitely feel your pain. when i did my first full correction I had to get up early to beat this alabama heat. Moved into my garage with a shop fan to complete my full correction. Looks like you managed well enough though :xyxthumbs:
