I very rarely get to use folks garages, and if theirs no adaquate light I still won't. I don't use a tent, I try to start early in the morning so that I can get it washed and buffed before it gets too hot. The $400 a gallon polish that I use allows me to leave it on as long as I want before buffing it off, so the sun doesn't affect the job , except for making me hot !!! I guess to answer your question about the trick...the trick is to clay the car while washing it , laquer thin any sap or scuffs off, machine buff any compound, glaze, etc. to prep the body, then buff the polish on ... that allows the oils and other protecterants of the polish, etc. to super penetrate the paint and also allows me to not have to worry about not taking it off for several hours ! so Machine buff is the trick ... machine buff on, change pads, machine buff off , then detail wipe the rest with clean microfiber towels...
