I don't know how you guys wash your vehicles? It's 53F right now, and if I'd wash my truck, I'd be freezing.

I have washed a truck in 38* weather in the snow before and verified to my neighbors that I am completely nuts.

Filled my buckets with hot water and used the hose nothing special. Just make sure if you try this dont do it on the drive way because it turns it into an ice rink in a hurry.

So it wont hurt the truck paint to wash it in hot water and hose it down with cold? Don't worry, my apartment complex has a car wash spot.

Nope. The water does not stay hot long and it cools off pretty quick. By the time I got to the end the truck the water was a little cooler than luke warm.
