Default should i wash my car now or not?

its dirty and the sun has been on it all day. also, i only have a lil bit of suds left (but i did pick up some paint cleaner @ mercedes benz today) the sun is not as intense as it was earlier but im afraid i might just cause more damage to the paint. plus right now im a 6 or 7 on the lazy scale, but i did just get a 4pk of RedBull. let me know

Default No, never detail the car if the paint is hot when you place your hand on it...

best to detail early in the day or late in the evening when it is cooler and the car is not in direct sunlight.

Default sure, wash and dry a panel at a time, better off to not do it tho.

Oh, BTW, I switched back to P21S wax, the stuff is so much nicer to use than Blitz
