Meguiars spray on wax ??

I think from his postings that he doen't feel the need to buy a car wash product because he thinks Dawn is the same thing. Which of course it's not. So he'd rather save a few pennies.

It would be interesting to see the photographs of the car washed for years with Dawn that was as good as new.

Oh no...... he's CHEEP.... ;-) hehehe

Careful, he will make you eat your words... Using Dawn won't make a finish look any worse than using "car wash soap". I guess there could be "some" validity to it taking off "some" wax. But so will drying a car.

Depends how you dry your car

If you can receive photos on that address I'll send a few of the cars that are always washed with Dawn. Sort of useless because you really have no idea if the car is even mine. Although the picture of the 3 black cars I mentioned may be hard to explain away and it includes the black '72 which is not a Corvette color that year.

Never said it was the same thing just a usable product. Plus it's not about saving a few pennies when you're driving a Corvette, it's about driving fun.

How do you like your Corvette?

That's "cheap" to you bird brain!

Go back to sleep--- ;-))

You don't have to "dry" your car if you sheet the water off and use a blower, then just dab up the seam trickles. You guy's are making far to much work out of this. By the way I have one stall in my garage to do just wash and paint jobs.

Other than with pure cotton diapers I never touch the finish on my cars after they're washed.

Yeah Ric, I try to wash them out first or at least shake out any large deposits.

I agree, most times I sheet wash the car, the water slides off like big pools of mercury :-) that's after I hit it with a high pressure water nozzle to remove the dust and the occasional bird dropping.

I wax the car once a month with the spray on wash liquid that you need to work up to a lather with using a sponge and it leaves a good shine on the car after I sheet dry it... Sometimes to dry I use that super absorbent rubbery chamois cloth (forget its name) It (the cloth) gets hard as a board when it's dry...

what blower do you use ? leaf blower ? or blow dryer ? ??

LOLOL Hummm... Using your Depends for Drying the Vette! Recycling, off your bum, then to the garage!!! :-)

Dawn is one of the soaps used to clean animals sprayed by skunks. I've used it for years and it's the only thing, combined with a white vinegar rinse that removes the scent completely.

Dawn strips the wax. You're not wrong Andy.

Ric Seyler That's "cheap" to you bird brain!

Go back to sleep

Lets hope no one else has to find that out the hard way.

Nope, seems you don't read so well, since your selective quoting is contrary to what is the fact.

There you go again, trying to say that facts support your position when they clearly don't. Why don't you go back and read the links you posted. In the case of the clay bar application, it doesn't matter since clay bar also removes wax.

As un-informed as you are about dish soap I would guess you wouldn't want to hear about how many vehicles I've washed with Tide laundry granules. Does a much better job than that old Dawn.

I am very well informed about dish soap, in fact I even went to the bother of calling the company that makes Dawn to get thier opinion.

If you want to damage your car, go right ahead, geeze.

Sure you did. Put the number you called and the person you talked to on here and I'll be able to call and have the same enlightened information you do.
