True or False: The best time to wash your car is on a hot summer day.

FALSE!  

If your car has been sitting in the sun or you’ve just taken it for a long drive, you should wait until it cools down before soaping up.  Park it in the shade for a couple of hours—or start with the interior.  A hot exterior speeds the drying of the soap and water.  While that may sound like a good thing, it makes washing more difficult because it increases the chance of spots and soap scum.  Avoid the hassle—wait until things cool off.
