Any advantage to using warm or hot water?

Just to mention on the point of hot water working better then cold. A lot of area's in the country have hard water, and when a softner is installed the hot water system is usually on soft water. Soaps and cleaning in general is easier, and done better with soft water. I personally have a dual hose bibb on the back of my house, one side is cold hard, and the other is cold soft.
 
If your using warm water in the winter and the temperature is just near freezing, be careful. Once the warm water losses its temperature it will freeze quickly because it has less oxygen than cold water at the same temperature. (if that makes an sense to you).:o
 
I have heard that so many times that hot water freeze's faster then cold water. Frankly I don't think anyone knows. Do a search on it, even the scientist agree to disagree. Is it that the warm or hot water has evaporated off so there is less to freeze? It certainly takes more energy to freeze 120 f water, the it does to freeze 50 f water.
 
I like hot water washes in the winter. As long as the temp isn't below 35 degrees, then you should be ok.



I've found that hot water is more active in cleaning than lukewarm or cold water. I've heard pros and cons, but in the winter, if you want to avoid the car wash, then hot water is more than a good alternative. The water should not be so hot, however, that you can't dip your hands into the bucket. It will take considerably longer to wash your car if that's the case.



PS: Hot water will not disturb your wax, as long as the wax has been on the surface at least a few weeks.
