Turbowax oxidation bar only needs water to use, not lube like clay, so its easier to do when hot because you don't have worry about running out of lube. Big key is don't let stuff like soap and cleaners dry will using them.on car. Poor boys makes lots of stuff that safe to use in the sun, they are well respected but lots of people too.

Popup tent works nice at keeping direct sunlight off the car while you're working on it. Granted that is AZ and its hot as ***** down there
