so yeah.. its a nice day out so i decided to give my car a much needed bath.. goto the store pick up the rim cleaner, leather cleaner, and wax.. but yet somehow i forgot about the most important thing when cleaning a car.. the suds.. can't beleive i forgot all about the car cleaner.. don't i feel dumb

could be worse....could have forgotten the car.

Or a bucket for the water.

You can use dish soap, shampoo, liquid hand soap, etc to wash her with, y'know....

yeah.. since i'm not at my apartment right now i had to do some scrumaging around.. my folks don't even have a bucket..

not very good for your paint...but I guess if you really want to.

LOL. Well I had thought that I heard you shouldn't use hand or dish soap to wash a car due to certain chemicals in them that would harm the paint. I may be wrong but I would go get the stuff from the store.

yeah.. the person at the count will probably laugh at me.. was wondering why that had a smirk on there face when i was checking out..

you are correct, you should not use them.

Dawn is what Zaino and Liquid Glass, and I belive Mothers and Meguiars suggest you use to strip wax from your car. No soap should hurt your paint, but some may have additives that will leave a film. But, in a pinch.....

Believe it or not, when I got a car painted many years ago, the body shop manager told me that they use Baby shampoo. He told me that it was gentle enought that it wouldn't hurt the paint or remove the wax..........Hey, that'* what a body shop told me.........I use what ever'* on sale........Right now it'* Rain Dance.
