just make sure you use some sort of QD product when you wipe the dust off .. do not "dry wipe" with a towel .. even a good MF will induce marring if you wipe dust/dirt off without using a QD.

ONR sounds like the best colution for you .. no issues with waxing under the tree .. NXT plays nice in the sun. A carnauba would not be a good idea in the sun.

I have a follow up question if anyone knows. Is it okay to leave wax on your paint? There are a few spots I noticed where I didn't wipe the dried wax all the way off. I've been hesitating to wipe it off since the truck is dirty now and don't want to scratch the paint. I'm only talking a few...small spots. ???

I know that's the easy answer...thought of that believe it or not Unfortunately, my work schedule hasn't allowed for that....and I'm about to leave for 3 months for work in NJ. Just hoping if I can't find time to wash it the wax won't cause permanent paint issues. We'll see I guess. Thanks anyways Gip

The next best thing would be to use the softest microfiber you have and see if you can lightly brush or wipe (not rub) it off in combination with a spray or 2 of quick detailer.
