Wash in the sun: Water spots
Wax in the sun:Swivel marks and an uneaven surface that does the job, but looks really bad.
Just an esthetic thing, really.

I believe the heated paint will make the wax more difficult to to remove. Which results in the appears of the swirl or application marks.

all are correct except the wax drying to quickly. i wont even spray wax in the sun. i pull my car into the sun after waxing. to get the truth of how well you have done, you gotta put some sunlight on it. then and only then will i walk around the car with a rag damp with spray wax and buff out inperfections...
this is a black car of course
