My neighbor swore by waxing in direct sunlight... what a disaster

Ron from two doors down said I had to do it in full sun for the wax to 'cure right.' I was out there in 90 degree heat last Saturday, slapping on some new paste wax I got. The stuff baked on in like 3 minutes flat and left these horrible hard streaks everywhere. Took me 2 hours to buff out with a microfiber, and my arms still hurt. I should've known better, he's the guy who uses dish soap as car wash. Has anyone else gotten burned by bad detailing advice from a buddy?

Learned that lesson myself after waxing in my driveway in July (took me an hour to fix the streaks).

Yeah those driveway streaks are brutal, shade is your friend for waxing.
