You should not wax in sunlight. You should always wax your car in shade or inside (away from the sun).

Car looks alright though after the wax job.

you should NOT wax in circles

wax in a linear motion

circle waxing leaves swirl marks...but nice job still!

depends..
there is one product out there that works better the hotter and sunnier it gets out..
the faster it dries the more coats you can apply
