Had a similar apartment in Austin some time back. They don't really insulate those garages too much, so the first thing to do is insulate the garage door as much as you can. I used stuff like this in the past:

Now, with that sealed up some more, the next recommendation makes sense. Get one of those rolling A/C units like this:

And I'd get some wood/ply to clamp into the bottom 6" of the garage door with a duct exit hole for the exhaust vent.
The only other reco - it will take a LOOOONG time to cool down from 140 to 80 out there, so if you can set a timer to cool it a few hours before your work time that would make it a lot more bearable.
it SUCKS to detail a car and drip salt water on it. Good luck.
Oh, sure, sorry. It's these guys:

They thing I like about these vs foam board is these are created did you can flex them so they go in super easily.
And yeah, the one side is plastic, or something similar. Think it's just there to protect the foam a bit.
Each panel has insulation value of R4.8
Get a cheap thermo gun and test the walls, ceiling, and door seals for temp spikes. This will reveal air leaks and problem areas. I suspect your metal garage door is the biggest culprit of heat loss. This winter I installed an [insulation kit] (http://www.amazon.com/Atlas-EPS-S-GDIK001-Insulation-Universal/dp/B008OPLHVE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398097268&sr=8-1&keywords=garage+door+insulation+panels) on my garage door and it kept my garage a few degrees warmer. I'd imagine this would help block out the Texas summer heat too.
