It also removes any kind of protection you put on your car (i.e. wax) and dries out plastic and rubber prematurely. Plus, it doesn't provide the same lubricity that a quality car wash soap does which is what allows you to wash away the dirt without marring the paint.

Let's leave Dawn for the dishes.

MikeyC ftw. hahaha

I heard you can use it in small amounts, to remove the wax, before apply wax that day. but that was during/after washing the car with car wash wash...

haha I said wash wash.
Sorry
