Don't really see the point of only having the water Luke warm unless its the winter, Luke warm water doesn't really occomplish much, it's just wasting the money invested in the equipment.

Luke warm for me - just enough to get a little steam on the glass. Had a window crack last year - frightened the life out of me (and cost dear).

+1 - exactly the same scenario. Cracked window in April, not the coldest month either.

Quite right ... unless you are doing a minging first clean from mingingland in which case hotter might help.
It's a game of three halves!

Wait 'till you hear them creaking and groaning - you'll need to carry spare underpants in the van.
