* Visibility: It's harder to see what you're doing, making it more difficult to apply the wax evenly and remove any excess properly. You might miss spots or leave streaks.
* Temperature: Nighttime temperatures can be cooler, which can affect the wax's application and curing process. Some waxes work best in warmer temperatures.
* Lighting: While you can use work lights, it's still not as good as natural sunlight. Good lighting is essential for a quality wax job.
* Bugs and Dust: While there might be fewer bugs at night, there's still a chance of dust settling on the freshly waxed surface.
While it's technically *possible* to wax your car at night, it's significantly easier and produces better results during the day in direct or bright indirect sunlight.
