Cheap car wash
Ive heard that dishsoap is bad for paint, wel what about laundry soap? Its a detergent not a soap. Would this be safe to use on my car? I dont want to go out every weekend and buy car wash.

dawn is good if you are going to wax it immediatly after the wash. I always use it to wash her right before I wax. Although if I am not going to wax, I use Meg'* Deep Crystal Wash. Works great, hella awesome. $4 for a big bottle, enough to last me several years. You do know to use 2-3 capfulls [for bonnie'*, mine uses a 3 gallon jug of water per wash]. You don't pour the whole bottle in

I dont believe in drying with a cloth, I like to let the majestic sun beat down on my black beuty, with the god fearing chemicals dispearsing like pigeons in the town square.
It really does work, just got to read the directions.

lol, yeah it worked, but the pressure on the filter mode SUCKED! i had to get like 5" away from the car just to get the soap off, and it still had a few water spots. I hated it, returned it next day.. things which are advertised and seem too good to be true, are.

I used the "rinse" mode, where it goes through the filters.. Stupid crap.. no, I didn't do that twice.. It was a waste man, besides, the good 'ol shammy works just fine for my horrible paint.
