How to detail in high humidity and no shade?

Well, I've moved here to VA and left potatoville (Idaho). I'll be staying with my sister for a couple of months but they don't have a garage like I did back in potatoville. Any advice in how to detail in high humidity to keep my baby clean is much appreciated. By the way it's NBP in color.

Those are some of the worst conditions possible. You may want to consider getting it professionally done, then you can work on its upkeep fairly easily.

Are you looking to detail it or just keep it clean? If it was detailed prior to moving all it should need is upkeep.

Sorry guys, I've been out for a while. I used to detail it myself but I had a garage to do it in. I was just using the NWRS, Opt Hyper Compound 2 and 4star all using a PC. I still have all the stuff to work with but kind of not sure. I'll check the regional to find out a good detailer around my area now to help me out.

make friends with someone who has a garage, or rent a 1 car storage unit...i have done work in one of thoes before, you may have to work at night so you dont have to deal with the extreme heat...

Good suggestion! I never really thought about that one.

Detail at night. That's what I do. Indiana weather sucks.

I do my detailing early in the morning as even in the evening the car is warm where as the morning the car is cold.
