Default Ac question

Hey guys. It start to get really hot in Florida. My ac condenser was falling apart so I replaced it and took it to a shop to recharge it. The next day the car not pushing cold air. Checked pressure and it was very high outside temp was 100 so I released some pressure and it got colder a
little. Now my pressure bounces between 38 and 45 psi. I am just wondering what the car should be at? And how can I make it push cold air all the time with no problem and without having to worry what temperature outside

Yes hummerz I added a can but I see only the pressure on hot size increase and the blue cold side stays around 30.. the ac is cold but I want to make sure it’s full. Should I add more or what you suggest I should do ?
