hockey_puck Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 After a super nice Saturday, the monsoon started today with cold gale force wind. Nothing to do before the hockey game on TV so I waxed big red in a comfy garage. Now I can't go out as I'll get it dirty! dj cowboy and Journeyman425 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I waxed big red in a comfy garage. Now I can't go out as I'll get it dirty! Wish I had a comfy garage. I have a small detached garage that my wife's vintage RX-7 stays in . If I had a garage to keep my cars in, I would probably have half the posts on this forum that I do because I'd be in there detailing like every night! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolly Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I've learned all of the wash and wax shampoo products end up being horrible after the second use. I used a 2 in 1 product yesterday and it made all of the Windows look like crap. I spent an hour scrubbing wax off of everything. A huge mess. Back to my Palmolive days!! At 118 mph who is going to notice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmolive is going to strip the wax and leave your car paint unprotected from the elements... Instead of using 2-in-1 products, buy separate products and use them as directed. Used properly, ANY product will be better than Palmolive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Quickest way to ruin a paint job is to use dish detergent to wash it. The detergents break down the wax, stripping it away and leaving your paint dull and unprotected. The one exception is when you are trying to strip the wax before using a clay bar. In that case dish detergent works perfectly. rolly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't, unless you plan on clay barring, buffing, and applying new wax or sealant. If not, buy Meguiar's Deep Crystal car wash. That's been my day-to-day wash for many years with zero problems.
