Can You Wash Your Car in High Summer Temperatures?

[LaMaverick]

It is not recommended to wash your car in high summer temperatures. Hazards of washing with cold water in high temperatures: Using cold water to wash your car when the temperature is very high can damage the paint surface. In severe cases, it may even cause the paint to crack and affect the metal structure inside the car. The best times to wash your car are in the early morning or evening, or on cloudy days. If you are in a hurry, use lukewarm water instead. Hazards of using a high-pressure water spray: Some people might prefer to start by directly spraying the car with a high-pressure water jet. However, doing so can cause dust and sand particles to rub against the car's paint, leaving tiny scratches. The correct method is to first rinse the car with a gentle stream of water to remove dust and particles, then apply car wash soap, and finally use the water jet.
