Oh, well, I figure that Dawn dishwasher soap acts as a degreaser, to prep the clearcoat for a clay barring. I only use it once, when I first get a car.
But, hey, I was just a research chemist for 30 years and have been washing and waxing vehicles for 70 years. -
Actually, I got along just fine with some kerosene (to take the tar off the paint) a galvanized bucket, full of well water, a real sea sponge, some lye soap, a horse hair brush (for the tires) and a chamois skin to dry it off - all before applying a coat of paste Simonize wax, while the car was under a big maple shade tree...
Now, they went and put a "clear coat" on these damn machines and we are to have a dozen special concoctions and fancy equipment, including a cannon, just to wash and wax a car. -
