Just wondering...
How warm is the water that comes out for washing cars? In the auto wash, and the self serve wash. Does warmer water help the cleaning? |

Don't own one but I went to a brand new one today where the water was bloody hot, the hose was almost too hot to touch. It also had a blow dry thing which was cool. Like with dishes, the hot water lifts the grease off the plates and stuff, so one would assume it is the same concept. |

Yeah the hot water combined with pressure makes for unreal cleaning abilities,so much better than cold water.

While hot water and soap is good for getting grease and grime off your car ext, if it is to hot it will also take wax and polish off with it , so warm is better and a good wax after never hurt..

I thought it was the pressure that made the water hot

Have you never cleaned the dishes before?
Hot water always makes it easier to clean, but as said, you will need to wax again after.

The basic pressure cleaners have cold water coming in and cold water coming out, they don't heat the water.
