    You want the least amount of sun on it bro so you don't get water spots. If you have a tree or shade then anytime of day is good, otherwise like me do it early before the sun gets up too high or late when it's setting.

    Morning is usually best as the car has not been baking in the sun.

    If you wash it in the evening, make sure the car has had sufficient time to cool down before washing.

    Its harder to was the car in the Afternoon and evening.

    Afternoon its too hot and water spots.

    Evening makes it harder to dry cuz there maybe some mositure in the air unless u live in AZ.

    Early is relative. I get up early to start washing no later than 9:30. Sun comes over the cypress trees and hits the driveway at 11:30

    Just got done washing my Charger.

    Started @ 6:30 so I would be done By 7:30am. Car cool and no sun on the driveway.

    Hate those f'n pesky waterspots.

    Picked up Autodry and the last step has a filter to eliminate water spots and have to say it worked!

    Next will be a waxing.

    Have to have a clean car before SRT Experience.

    right now I go to the auto wash since I pegged the stupid fence post. It'll get a new shot of color soon and then it'll be crack-o-dawn baths and a daily rub down with some newborn blankets.
