I would wait till it gets darker and felt cool to the touch. Again that is just me.

Eric is correct. Anything that is applied to the surface should be done in a shaded area and when the exterior of the vehicle feels cool to the touch.

The container usually has the directions on usage specific to the brand. They don't want to get sued... Cool surface only.

Since you seem new to this... and i'm not expert either... be very careful as well. You want to target the scratches directly and not mess up the clear coat paint on the surrounding area.
