I go to this car wash that you put coins in to use the hose. I find the water is too warm, is that bad for the paint? would it wash away my wax layer? thanks

 

YO! Y2k My bro:

I don't think warm water would do damage to your paint. It's not hot enough to damage your paint. Wax layer is pretty hard to wash away in a single wash too. Perhaps if u use those SUPER strong soap, yah.. wax is gone. ^^
I might be wrong, but i've been washing my car with warm water. I heard it's actually better than washing it with cold water. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Y2K!! Come out and let's do lunch.

 

warm water is actually good for the paint i think, warmer water should dissolve away the contaminants better than cold water...just think about it, there are people who drive cars in the desert, for example las vegas gets like 100 degress during the summer, im sure the water you put on your car isnt even close to 100 degrees...plus when the factory bakes your paint in, they use like 200-300 degree temperatures, so warm water should not even be bad for the car at all...just think Common Sense...helps to explain alot of the small questions you might have...

I've always been told by detailers and my Meguiars to use COLD water ONLY... Never asked why though.....
