Well hopefully you are some place cooler than home right now. Also your paint should be curing faster than normal since it is getting an extended period in the paint bake oven

Meh anything over 110 all feels the same. I did see they cancelled a bunch of flights though due to issues with the heat exceeding smaller regional jets operating temperatures. I can't even imagine how turbulent it is coming into PHX right now. Even on a normal day it's usually a rock-n-roll ride over the Superstitions.

So, one major drawback to having a convertible is that the interior gets REALLY dirty; it's even worse if you have a light color scheme. One advantage to having a convertible is that you can get the top out of your way and make more room to get in there and do a thorough cleaning. Last weekend was that type of cleaning. Folex for the carpets and seat belts, Leatherique for the leather, Meguiar's Interior Cleaner/Detailer for the hard surfaces. 131k miles and the only real evidence of wear is on the driver's side bolster; might need to look into whether there's anything out there that would cover that up some.

Car still looks new T, nice work.
When the weather was milder here in Houston, I was running around with the pano roof open & all the windows. Then the annual pollen explosion came through, black interior + pollen = a mess.

Folex is INCREDIBLE! Super easy to use and very effective.
Seriously. I end up with every diesel's soot in my car after awhile.

Looking super clean T! Congrats on getting it all back man. One note on the bolster showing wear, I seen this one product (could have been leatherique) that loterally fills in those cracks in the leather and makes it look brand new again.
Edit: Option 2 could be to order a nice afternarket red leather interior...boy would that look fricken amazing with your grey exterior (is that space pearl grey by the way?).

Man... a well taken care of E90 is a satisfying sight. It just looks ready to provide pleasure for years to come.
