Pull the MSDS for Dawn and several "car wash" detergents. You'll find the same ingredients in the same quantity. The dilution ratio accordingly would be the same.

You can use other products besides Dawn. Heck, you can use Tide, Cascade, 409, etc. All clean well and have various advantages, and disadvantages.

My personal dislike with Dawn is the way it rinses. More specifically, the way it doesn't rinse. No matter what I do, I always get very visible streaking with Dawn.

One of these times I'm going to use Cascade. I want to see what the sheeting action is like.
