If you live on a main road, it'd be more difficult, though not impossible.
A drive way is gonna be better and means you can work around the car.
A large enough garage means you are protected from environmental dust etc which is important in paintwork correction.
When I used to live down south, I used to polish my car around the back of the maisonette. I lived on the ground floor and had access to the garage next to it. There wasn't much in the way of vegetation and the area was well protected from the main road so it was ideal for machining.

You say if you have the space - do you mean a garage ?
I was thinking of buying one myself, but I don't have a garage. Can you use outside when there's decent weather ?

Yeah I have the space but it is surrounded by horse fields with no roads, which im guessing if it is sunny and not windy should be as good as it gets (unless you have a double garage with sunlight strips everywhere)?

popular idea is going halfers (50/50) with someone else share the cost.
