I love reading and looking at your details on this forum, just amazing!
Question though: most people suggest not washing, drying in the sun. The paint is hot, almost impossible to towel dry before it sun dries. In many of your details it looks like all wash/dry is done outside in the sun rather than shade.
Any comments or feedback about this?

great question, what we do is wash the car then pull it inside to dry and finish out the work on it.
but for the most part we try to prep cars earlier in the day to avoid the sun.
