last time i washed my car i put the hose on the hot tap while i filled the bucket then swapped it over to the cold to hose the car and the good thing was all the hot water in the hose kept it warm pretty much all the time i was washing the car, nice warm hands for me

Just about to wash mine... Ive got a theory that cars come out better when washed/polished in the cold weather. Prolly cos the paint/laquer is cooler and therefore 'harder' so when you polish it doesnt cut or 'spiderweb' into the surface as easily as when the paintwork is hotter and softer.
