dish soap

[ishavedmyballs!]

I know everyone says no to dish soap washes but why does it say I can use a mild dish soap right in the manual? Page 218 second column first section

I wouldn't use dish soap regardless of whatever manual it says it's ok.

Dish soap is an abrasive soap made to get grime off of plastic and porcelain.

What that means for a cars paint is essentially micro scratches in the clear coat affecting its life span. Repainting your car is expensive. Automotive soap is cheap. You make the decision.

My dad always told me that it strips wax off. So, if you use it, you'll have to wax your car. I wouldn't recommend using it.

Dish soap normally isn't good for your car, like others have said, it strips the wax off it. It might only be useful if you are using a clay bar to remove road debris from the paint along with the dish soap.

I would never use this it I was just confused by the manual

The manual also says you can use 5w-30 oil in your manual trans and regular unleaded in the gsr and type-r...

Its a 'last resort' kind of thing.

I've heard of quite a few detailers using Dawn on a car when they first get it. It strips all the wax and other crap off the paint so they can clay the car without working said junk into the paint.

On its own I wouldn't do it though.

That does make some sense, but I still wouldn't try it. I would just use the clay bar.


My vehicles only get the best

If you are ever in a pinch, use Shampoo to wash the car and some Conditioner as a wax. Detergent is only good if starting from scratch, so try and avoid in most situations.
