Best wax for the sun

I know what most people will say...dont wax in the sun. But i have a small detail business and its generally not possible to wax in the shade. The only solution ive come up on is turtle wax ice. Ive used it in the sun and works pretty good....it just doesnt last a real long time on the car. All suggestions are appreciated.

Eagle One Nanowax, doing one panel or section at a time. No shade I will do the flat sections first, roof w/open windows and leave the hood & trunk open until I can get to them (relieves heat from interior, engine and trunk compartments), I know, just a force of habit from the days of using rub on HARD carnuba wax, LOL!!!

Make the investment, buy it and bring the shade with you. http://www.ezup.com/products/pro/hub.shtml or even 1-2 of these http://www.ezup.com/products/pro/eclipse2.shtml in 10x15 (no center pole lke on 10x20). You can find some of the "cheaper" ones on ebay also which work pretty well just not as sturdy. Don't forget the weights for the legs to hold it down in case of wind.

I have 2 cheapo 10x10 ones that get used for every party and are awesome. I have used it for the car but it's just not quite big enough which is why i suggest the 10x15 or better 16x16. Also seen some guys use a big tarp attached to the side of their van with heavy duty tent poles staked down but that depends where you are and if you can stake into something safely without damaging property.

I only waxed in the sun a couple times and it sucked no matter what wax I used.
