Read somewhere that you shouldn't wax your car in high humidity... Exactly what is considered high? :confused: It's pretty humid for L.A. right now (70-75%). Is that too high to consider waxing? What happens when you do wax and it's too humid? Just curious. Thanks. :)

that isn't too high, wax won't bond correctly and it will look streaky. you might have to put two ot three coats on to get it to look right.

Where I live, that's the humidity nearly every day of the year. IMHO, it doesn't hurt and may help. Press on...

Higher humidity = longer cure time. Depending on what wax/sealant you use, you may have to wait longer for the stuff to haze (if needed) before you can wipe it off.
