Default Washing and Rinsing - Hot or cold water

Just checking - Should I be using hot water when washing my car? Any instances where I shouldn't?

If you're using a traditional type of wax hot water can remove some of it. I typically use hose water. I run it for a few minutes if the hose has been exposed to the sun. When it runs cool, then I start to use it.

don't know.
but in the winter I fill my buckets with hot water - it's my way of keeping my hands warm. Wouldn't be able to do it otherwise.

I use Zaino for about 3 years now. Prior to that Meguiars, never noticed any problems either way. Gong to to the same tomorrow. I don't think you should worry about it.
