It is impossible to get the garage temperature any lower than the outside ambient air temperature without some sort of cooling system e.g. air conditioner or mini split.
I chose to:
1. Install door vents. One low and one high.
2. Insulate doors and over garage attic space with radiant barrier.
3. Have a door screen installed by Thumper.
4. Install an overhead fan.
All in all my south facing garage stays within 5 degrees of the outside ambient air temperature.
