Should you apply this product indoors or in the shade?

Since the primary intent of the product involves "wet sanding", it would be to your advantage to keep the headlights out of direct sunlight while your doing it, but doing it specifically indoors isn't necessary in my experience. The last time I used it, I pulled my car close to the open garage to provide shade, but to still allow some wind to keep me cool during the work and to aid in the drying process. FYI - the results were fantastic and I hoping to get some longer lasting results by using an automotive plastics treatment every 6 months or so since other reviews have indicated the results may not be the "lifetime" promised by the Manufacturer. In any case, my headlight look much better than before, and the kit was relatively easy to use. Good luck.

It says to either apply in the shade or in an enclosed area. I applied it outside on an over cast day. An hour after I applied it the Sun came out. Two hours after that it rained. The application survived and I haven't had any problems even though my conditions were not advisable.

It is supposed to be done in the shade. You can't take any shortcuts to the process, but it was well worth the effort. We had been considering new headlights because ours were so bad... at a really big expense. This alleviated any need to buy new ones.

I remember reading not to apply when extremely cold, but indoors not necessary. I applied in open shade in the back yard.

I'm in agreement with the four previous answers. Indoors is not necessary, unless you're having to avoid freezing or very hot temps out of doors. I used it on our carport and it was a perfect environment that allowed easy hose down clean-up afterwards. I think a shaded driveway would work just as well.

I have used it in the shade and in a garage, no problems either way. I would not try it in the sun. Rinsing can be a little messy, but it is just water. Also agree completely with Rush Goodspeed answer below.

From what I understand from talking to a friend who owns a pest control company, it is sunlight that degrades the product. Mixing it with water doesn't "activate it", it simply dilutes it and makes it easy to apply. That being said, if you store it in a dark area you should have no problem with it losing it's effectiveness.

The shade should be fine in mild to moderate wind and rain. The manufacturer recommends that in a heavy storm, roll up the shade. The shades are porous, so a lot of wind will dissipate through it. But to be on the safe side, if you start to see the shade moving strongly even with it opened tautly, then roll it up.

I saw results in less than a week, as long as you do not get heavy rain for a few days it should be fine to apply the product.

I've only ever used this product indoors, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work just as well outdoors, as long as it isn't getting rained on. That's just an opinion, but the poison is the same stuff whether it's in a house or outside somewhere.

I never used it for outdoor, as an indoor tanner I absolutely love it.. For outdoor tanner I use Hawaiian tropic dark tanning oil and I love it. I mean personally there's a reason why they make an indoor tanner and an outdoor, I don't see why it wouldn't work for outdoors, but probably not as great as something like an oil or is meant to specifically be an outdoor tanner.

I think the instruction say indoor use only. It would probably be ok to use outdoors if, for example, the outdoor use was for a short time, the weather was clear and you take care to bring it back indoors at the end of the evening, but I don't think it's intended to be left outdoors or subjected to moisture in the air.

It might be best to use it at night. I think there are also formulas specially made for that. You could also let it set in before putting on any makeup.

I agree with Gel. It sits on the skin. You would not want to go out & about with it on your skin. I use it as a night time application.

Sitting it by a window indoors is fine, but too much sunlight will burn leaves so I've had success by my front window that Gets sun but also has of light and shade. I hope this was helpful

While I believe it's more for indoor, I used it a few times outdoor last year and felt it enhanced my tan deeper..Alternating with my outdoor tanning oil. BTW, I'm NOT an outdoor tanner other than an hr at most a couple times a week at best. But, I was extremely dark. To my knowledge, there is no sunscreen in it at all, so be careful if you burn easy.

definitely in the shade... I installed mine in about 80 degree weather without a problem...

we're doing ours in full sun and in sections for the same reason. I will caution you, watch the youtube videos before you begin. I'm finding it's a lot more difficult to get this stuff on evenly....we plan to do a third coat. If you decide to go ahead with using the product, be sure to mix it as well as you can and cover anything you don't want splattered. it may be a good product when it's all done and said, but if I knew then, what I know now, I would have just recovered with a different stain product.

Yes, all indoor lotions can be used outdoors with great results (works much faster than outdoor lotions!)

You should be okay as long as you don't apply the product during the heat of the day.

There is both a technical answer and a personal comfort answer. The technical answer is the product should be kept in a cooler area away from direct heat or sunlight to allow it to maintain its efficacy. The personal comfort answer is if you keep it in the refrigerator - it will give you a wonderful, cooling sensation when you use it! It works great either way - just keep it away from the heat or sunlight!
