[DebV6]

Lol! I did this once last year, the water just froze on the car, doh!

 

[Justin]

[Leeshez]

Good lad. I have done this also :lol:

 

[Jay]

I learnt my lesson by doing this last year.

 

[Rich]

Nutter, QEW or Optimum no rinse are a god send at this time of year.

use cold water if your going to wash it when its freezing, warm water freezes quicker than cold

 

[Justin]

That is completely, scientifically wrong.... if its hot then it takes the water longer to reach freezing temperature than if its cold. Sorry to correct you but I am pedantic about scientific truth. No creationists, scientologists or religios fanatics in this fold! :rasp:

Sorry but brand86 is correct. Its something to do with the contrast being more aggressive with hot water going into cold conditions making it freeze quicker

Yep hot water freezes quicker than cold.

When they re-level the surface on Ice rinks the machine uses 90 degree water, and it refreezes before the polisher has cleared the area its working on.
