Default Warm Water Wash for Wimps

I don't mine washing the car when it is cold but I really dont like putting
my hands in a cold wash bucket. What a wimp! To get around this cold
water issue, I mix up the Zanio Car Wash in a bucket in the kitchen using
hot water and even soad the coldrock hard clar bar in the same solution.

Spray the car down with the hose and wash with the warm water and
it is not too bad.

Try it some time and you will be hooked on the warm water wash!

Dick, I installed a washing machine mixing valve on my garage water supply, so I can wash on those cold days with warm water, and I have (3) 80 gallon hot water heaters so I can wash and never run out of warm water. ;)

Hot water cleans better than cold water. I use hot water year round :yesnod:

That's how I've always done it, summer or winter.

LOL, I do the same thing! Winter here in Nashville can be a bit chilly and I can't neglect the Vette. Use warm water from the house, but rinse off with hose water. :)
