I normally fill mine half with cold water, then put the hot tap on full blast and top it up, normally its about the right temp

RS Bungle: ATEK TW1 Alloys. Got them from Rochford Tyres but they don't stock them anymore and neither does anyone else in the UK. I have one of them for sale 4 stud like the ones in my pic as the stud diameter is a little too small to fit.

And I also too have some Meguiars Polish Wax to use: will do that another warmer weekend
