Washing with warm/hot water

[Arapo]

Guys - need your wisdom on washing the Tuscan with warm or hot water.

Although the car has not moved for almost a month, and managed to avoid all the salt and grit, it is in need of a good cleaning, before I tuck it under the cover for the winter - or until the weather improves a bit.

The porter of my building was kind enough to lend me a huge portable water boiler, and I am wondering what is the best water temperature to use, so that I don't damage the paintwork. I guess too hot is a no-go, but what would be a safe water temp?

Any ideas?

You need to look at the instructions on the car shampoo, too hot can affect the way it works. I use Xymol and it says cool water

as long as the water is mildly warm at a temperature where you can comfortably keep your hand in the bucket it will be ok
