so I'm washing the car......
It all started when mother asked me to wash her car. She owns a Black 02 Grand Prix GT.
By this time I'm about 2 hours into it and it's getting dark. Do I quit and say I'll do it tommorow!?,,,,,,,,,no! I get my 100 watt worklight and keep at it.
About 15 minutes later, the neighbor stops over says hey,,,,,,np So we talk for alittle and then this is where it starts. He notices the soap I'm using and questions it. He asks why are you using car wash. I told him straight up that car wash soap doesn't strip wax as easily as dishwasing soap would and makes the finish smoother and more reflective than regular dishwashing soap.
Neighbor says to me "oh ok, does it remove grease and oil from the finish? I said "usually most modern car washes have the ability to remove most everyday dirt and grime but not the deep down stuff" He said "so your saying that it's cleaning the car but not 100% I said "car wash is deisgned to remove everyday dirt and contaminents from your car but also leaves a nice shine and leaves the remaining wax on your car" He said "why don't you want to strip wax? I said "because then there is no protection"
By this time I'm starting to get alittle agitated and quickly spray off the car so it doesn't spot and I'm also burning daylight. He said "well I've always used Pamolive on my car and it works great and shines good" I glanced over at it, sure it looked good but that just waxed shine wasn't there.
I said ok I need to finish this up, he said alright, next time you wash the car try out dishwashing soap it really clean your paint. I in a reluctant voice said "ok"
Moral of the story is people who don't understand detailing like we do, some people can come up with pretty crazy ideas for cleaning there vehicle. I just thought I would share this,,,,,deadman98
