Anyone ever hear of this??

An old lady bought an bottle of Murphys Oil Soap I was selling at a yard sale. I asked here if she has hard wood floors. She replied " no I wash my car with it". Her car was an old buick and the paint did look shiny from a distance. She also very happily told me that it was the original paint.

funny I ran across this, my dad used to use Murphy`s for tons of stuff like washing the chamois pad in bike shorts, tires, leather.



It`s a pretty mild soap but I don`t think I`d use it as car wash.

THe first wax Meguiar`s made was for furniture then they discovered it made automobile paint shiny. The rest is history.

IMO using oil/fat/etc.-based furniture products on wood made a lot more sense back when both were finished with natural lacquers. For decades, Meguiar`s didn`t even offer a wax for cars, just the #7 which was then called "Sealer and Reseal Glaze". IIRC Meguiar`s didn`t offer an automotive wax until #16 came out in the early 1950s. Meanwhile, people were using Simonize on both cars and furniture (and cussing it for being so hard to buff off).

It`s basically just a mild all purpose cleaner. Can be used on lots of surfaces. I wouldn`t use it on MY cars but doesn`t sound any more harsh then dish soap.

Um hello.... It`s murphy`s OIL soap. of course it`s going to leave a luster and shine. It`s oil soap. Made mainly for deep conditioning of wood furniture. But it obviously has other side effects that aren`t so bad in other applications.
