aside from preventing heat stroke during a full day detail...

any tips to make it easier to work with the products on a nice hot day, with no real escape from the sun?

will help... but it's still 95+ in the shade in the summer here

Hose down the working area to cool and keep shaded to reduce excessive heat

In some hot climates, it's possible for dark cars to get very hot, even in the shade. If a product doesn't work well in excessive heat, it's a function of heat and time. So work a smaller area and buff out the product sooner, and that may help.

hot climate, lots of sun, black car, and virtually no shade

I'll try using my pop-up shelter thing, see how much it helps.

this Saturday's forecast: high of 94 (ambient) with a heat index of 107. And cloudy.

But for the waxing stage, Zaino will work under full sunlight. The issues people have with Zaino are high humidity conditions.

If you want, I have some old bottles of Z1 and Z2 lying around. I can send you one of each to try out. Their newer stuff differs in that you can add layer upon layer in the same day, whereas with the older stock I have, you need to wait a day between layers. But otherwise it should work fine.

I've got so many freakin detailing products that I don't mind cleaning a few off the shelf...and if it goes to good use...all the better.

well, we have lots of that, too
