Sorry for the daft newbie question, but will hot water affect a layer of wax?

Always used to wash with hot water, as hot as it would get out of the tap, But recently i'll put a couple of inches of hot in the bucket and top up with cold with the power washer to get it nice and foamy. Ending in luke warm water at the most

dont think it matters i prefer warm water becuase its winter and also may soten bugs dirt slightly better (may not) as for effecting wax i recon it would have to be above a certain temp that id be more worried if you could put yourhand in it let alone the wax. car panels get very hot in summer remember

I usually have hot in the shampoo bucket and cold in the plain water, that way i know if i have warm hand it shouldn't be going back on the car!

I put hot water in from the kitchen tap with the shampoo, then top up with cold from the hose

Hot in the winter, in the summer i sometimes use filtered water from my resin vessel so its cold.

Hots better for my hands lol

Luke warm water for me. I often think hot water will have an effect on the wax layer.

Cold, as i fill the buckets from the hose. Looking forward to winter washing

In winter I have warm in the shampoo bucket and hot in the rinse. Good to warm the hands back up once they've been out in the wind.

[PIRHONEY]

Warm or hot it is then!

In winter it's more a motivational issue though.... need to get my **** out into the cold and get it done!

Thanks for the replies though peeps!

I doubt hot water will have any affect on the wax / sealant. I use boiling water from the kettle and blast it with the hose to mix up the wash and cool the water a little.

All year round I have it hot.

I have hot tap in garage so use warm water. In winter it keeps hands warm. I also connect hose to hot tap too every now and then. Loosens bugs better in summer and soften salt and crud in winter.
