LOL at this thread - the data on solubility by heat rather silenced the
"only EVER use cold water on salt" crowd

I am time poor so use very warm water with car shampoo (by that I mean cleaning fluid
designed for car bodywork)

It gets everything off quickly and then into the guys with baby wipes etc, and then lube

Did you read the rest of the thread before posting?

Did you?
It's a cut and paste post from earlier in the thread. So the halfwit can bump his post count.
