applying srp & egp in the sun?

[ADY 554D]

as title can this be done on a sunny day like today or is it best done on a cooler day?

 

[FiDoDiDo]

No, best to do it in the shade. EGP would be a nightmare to get off as well.

[ADY 554D]

cheers guys i will hold of for a day or two

Thats what I've had to do...the car's been in and out of the garage all morning!

 

[Tigger]

Even in the shade, does the EGP take a bit of elbow grease to buff off? :S

 

[Rich]

Should wipe of easily if applied thin enough.

 

[Tigger]

Oh dear - it's probably too warm as well - methods to my madness eh?

 

[Rich]

Been struggling to wax mine all morning moving it round avoiding the sun, in and out of the garage etc to do the roof and bonnet!

Get some QD on it

 

[Tigger]

It's the bonnet im having most difficulty with.
the arches weren't as bad - had to give it extra pressure and the odd squirt of QD to buff away a few streaks left behind - would that be due to applying in the direct sunlight?

I did the bootlid about 30 mins ago as it was shaded from the sun, so I'll go out and try to buff it off see how it goes

Im applying with a megs yellow foam pad & buffing with a Sonus der wunder blue buffing towel - is that the best way?

First time using the EGP so forgive me for the silly questions :star:

Could be the sun, or what cloth you using to take off with?

Probably too thick like rich said

 

[Rich]

Would not use EGP on a sunny day full stop to be honest unless there was suitable shade to allow the car to be done in parts. Onto a loser straight away doing anything with it in the sun. Wait till the evenings or get up early!

Get it on as thin as you can, then it is too thick still I bet so get it thinner.

Cloth is fine for the job IMO.

 

[Tigger]

Must be the heat - buffing the bootlid was a doddle
