Just got done cleaning the turbo with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash followed by Chemical Guys Black Light Hybrid Radiant Finish on an orange pad with a PC then topped with Todd Cooperider's Esoteric Signature Series Wax. It's 115 today and I'm happy I bought an evaporative cooler for the garage yesterday.

This is what I bought: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Champion-...0#.UdCs0xbvNsg
I have a 2 car garage and it cooled it down some, but it was still really hot outside. I guess the max you can get is 20 degrees cooler with one off these vs any temp with an AC. I didn't get the AC because of the needed an exhaust.

I am going to assume you bought the ac unit for your comfort while in the garage working on your baby versus buy it to cool the garage for your baby

That turned out great. That's just a touch to warm for me, and I thought 104 was hot last year here.

Nice job! BTW, your car is the only other Turbo I have seen with the factory no-cost option AM antenna on the roof! I have it on mine and I think it looks cool

Sweet ride and I love that you are into keeping it detailed. I would suggest looking into coatings like EXO or CQuartz simply because the AZ heat is hell on wax. I have used the EXO v1 very easy and lasts like crazy.

Keep up the good work.
