    a Beast , done in 9 hours 1/2 in full sun ~106F and it will be the last one i schedule in no shade area :))
    i kill 1/2 Liter of red bull and 2 gallons of water.

    - shampoo floor mats ,
    - leather treatment ,
    - vacuum & wipe down interior + protectant ,

    Cosmin, you are a serious inspiration. 100+ temps are no joke, no shade is no joke, and 9 hours for correction and interior on a giant vehicle is no joke. A lot of people have really poor conditions to detail in because they have no choice - I hope threads like this are an inspiration to the guys starting out that its not always fun and games on already clean cars.

    GREAT job Cosmin. Way to get it done.

    hamza7 Welcome to Detailing

    Very nice work Cosmin hope the heat didn't sun burn you. Did you have to use a DA or did you use a rotary

    Nice hat - you really are a Texan.

    Great work knocking this out.

    My rents are considering moving to Austin - but the non-stop 100+ degree days are a slight turn off for them.

    nice job, sickness...=)

    it would be a pain to climb up and down the ladder to polish out the roof and upper panels...very nicely done!

    Even though I cannot stand the H2, my hat goes off to ANYONE that has to detail these pieces of sh!t. Cannot believe you didn't suffer from a heatstroke in the temperates we've been having. I'm ready for fall, the weather in Austin is pissing me off!

    H2 are a beast to work on , if no roof to be polish it may be more acceptable , but when ladder involved is no more fun.

    about weather .. day/ night is summer forever ... too long.
    lucky i had some carnauba moose wax and it worked in hot weather. the polish was done with flex da , polish pad and mezerna sip mix with 205 - cosmin method :)
