Default Cleaning in Florida

I detail mine at home, in maryland, all the time with ease in the moderatly warm temperatures. But, my grandma wanted me to wash/wax her car down here in Florida. Anything i should know special aside from the usual about being here vs. maryland? Namely for the wash, i can wax it in the garage

Everything would be the same....i would however suggest a shade tree instead of a garage....and plenty of liquids to drink (its damn hot out there!!)

Wash it in the early AM or late afternoon when it's cooler. The car should not be too hot to the touch or you might not get good results. Work on small area then rinse well. Wax in the shade or garage. Good luck
