It was pretty sunny today and as most of you know, not a good day for polishing or waxing a car! So I waited until the sun went down and starting using autoglym HD wax for the whole car and just finished after 10! Lol thought it was a good idea because it wasn't in direct sunlight but some people my think I am mad! lol

Yep. Same here done it with Meguiars NXT 2 synthetic wax at 9pm.
Absolute nightmare as the dew came down on it and it just would not polish-up.
I had to give-up and wait until mid-day next morning (with sun?!) and then it came
out beautifully. Go figure.

if ever im going out for the day (like yesterday me and the mrs went to beach), I wake up about 1hr early and give the car a good clean and windows and detail spray before we set off.
Also last year for FCS I left at 5am, but woke up at 3am to clean it. Then cleaned it again once at FCS. The milkman was abit shocked, as he comes round at about half 4 =-]
Had my 206GTI since 13th April, and have cleaned it every single day so far. Except for Sunday just gone, I cleaned it twice.
NEVER drive a dirty car! It's pathetic.
