Other than that, I don't see any +/- about it.

My car has been in the garage since Wednesday (last week) 
It's sparkly clean.
But yeah when I wash my car I use warm water. Hot water can shatter your windshield and glass. Plus it keeps your hands warm if you don't use a self service car wash.

you are supposed to prerinse with hot and use hot soapy water... then rinse with cold.. the hot will keep the soap reacting and the cold doesn't.. cold makes it easier to get it all off before the chamoise
