| I use Dawn for the initial wash of vehicles I don't really care about, it works OK and I'm not gonna waste a decent shampoo on, for example, my mechanic's 250K mile loaner or a rental.
I don't get the kind of wax-stripping that DavidB recently reported, but Dawn is cheap and effective (though lacking in lubricity).
If you want to do a super-strength wash, I'd go with AutoInt's "A" (alkaline part of ABC system) instead, it works a lot better for this than Dawn. Not as cheap or as commonly available as Dawn though. |
