If it can be helped, NEVER wash your car in direct sunlight. That's just asking for a trip to water spot hell. If you had soft water, you MIGHT be able to get away with it but if you have very hard water, some water spot can be hell to remove if they stay on your paint long enough.

If we're betting, I'll bet that UV and road exhaust is solely responsible for yellowed headlights.

Anyone ever use the two bucket method at the car wash? Reason I ask is because I live in an apartment and thats how I have to wash my car. I bring my buckets, my soap, mit......everything! Been working for me.
