I do notice that the convertible seems to stay cooler with the top up than the transparent top did with my 08 coupe. 
summer, inside temps...

summer, inside temps...
not only is this warning for leaving dogs, other animals in the car, children too..... but even sodas, food, liquids like detailers in the back, etc... and if you have the transparent roof... its even worse... something to keep in mind...

Will these temps in any way degrade the detailing products ie Detailing sprays and Spray waxes?
I leave them in the back and I do know how hot it gets...
Opinion?
Thanks!!

Here is a summer temp. I just did this little test. It's 105º outside here today. I left the car in the driveway for an hour with the thermometer on the dash. It was about 4pm when I started. If I had done it at around 1:00 I think it would have been higher. It will be 108º here tomorrow and the hot season doesn't usually start till July.

it can, depending on the product. However, it be more concerned about something springing a leak.

We where having the discussion about leaving pets in the car a couple weeks ago. It was in the 90's outside and my all black '09 was in the sun and our oven thermometer read 168 degrees inside the car. Nothing survives very long in that temp.
