Water Temperature

[washregal]

Just wanted to ask advice on General water Temp. Especially since we are heading into winter months.

What Temp does everyone us for HP soap and pre-soak in there bays?

My temp ranges from 120 -130 high pressure, 100 - 110 presoak. My soap mixes at the pump with no loss of scent. My heated presoak tank tends to evaporate some of the scent when I dont get enough volume.

What temp does your chem supplier recommend for best cleaning/performance?

110-120 is the answer I've gotten, so thats what I run mine at. Yes, I admit I turn it down to about 90 in the summer on the assumption that the surface of the vehicle is hot.
