0 Chewy Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 It's not something that they'll recommend, but you can do it in a pinch. You'll need to work pretty quickly. Personally, I'd pick a cloudy day if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 If I have to do this I always wipe the residue off as I go, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 THE Mook Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I clay in the Sun all the time at Hot August Nights in Reno. Those surface temps are well above 100*. You WILL need to use extra DS as it dries out a bit quicker in that kind of heat. Mook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You WILL need to use extra DS as it dries out a bit quicker in that kind of heat. Mook I agree, I can't tell you how many black cars (mainly Vettes) that I have clayed, polished & waxed in the sun. And yes more DS will be needed. And we also polished right over the clay residue....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mattyj724 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 yes. i ran out of time half way through. so i parked her in the garage. Can i just pull her out and continue or do i need to restart the process? i wiped off most of the residue with a microfiber towel but it was all dry. adams detail spray of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 No reason to redo what you have already clayed, just move forward. Once you are finished you may want to wipe down the areas from yesterday with Waterless Wash or Detail Spray to remove the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Chewy Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I've clayed mine in the rain! lol. Sent from my miniaturizer via tap dancing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 EPHIOS Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It is possible, especially how good DS is under the sun. However, I would recommend claying in a shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Gone & Forgotten Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I drive mine into my pool, grab a snorkel. I save a little DS this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
