Yes...says so on the can if I'm not mistaken.

And let me know how it turns out for you. I use it all the time.

There is nothing on the back of the can that addresses this question. Only thing it says is: "The surface should be warm (50 degrees - 90 degrees F)." Only time the word "sun" is used is after the sentence instructing you to wait at least 4 hours between coats to allow for curing: "When finished, 'baking' vehicle in the sun will bond Liquid Glass to the surface."

Never a good idea to apply polish in the direct sunlight. Ever see a car with dried out swirls that looks like wax is still on it? That's from waxing in the sun. I know Liquid Glass is a different product but paint is like a skin. It needs to have oils in it to be healthy. You should never let a wax or a polish dry too long on the car. I wouldn't do it out in the sun.

I agree. Do it in the shade and then place it in the sun. Doing it in the sun will make it dry out to fast and you will eventually use to much. Harder to take off and then you will make to much dust.

shade will prevent any streaking effect.

If LG was a wax, then all this advise would actually be worth something...but LG is a polymer. No 'wax' effects.

EX: Whether you apply in direct sunlight or in a cool garage & then move to direct sunlight, the effect will be the same. If swirl marks were going to "bake in", they would...it would just happen after you moved it to the sunlight to bake.

I've applied it in direct sun many times...in winter I apply in my garage with the heat jacked up to 90.

Bottom line is, even the worst application of LG is 100X better than any wax out there. If you get spots, just use a water bottle, spray an extra-light mist over the area you're buffing & move right along...no sweat. Just remember to keep the amount to an absolute minimum...a little goes a very long way.

There are plenty of tips on the LG site also.
