    Actually, I think a similar question was posed before, and Ron K seemed to think there was no problem with using the J&J, as the composition was fairly similar to car wash shampoo

    I`ve used baby shampoo in the past and there is really not a problem with it. I believe that I recall Ron saying that if it`s safe for your skin, it should be safe for your car. Obviously, you`d want to avoid something with oils/moisturizers, but...



    Personally, I`ve been using EF PowerWash+ with great success. It`s really good at getting grime and tar off, without causing wax stipping, etc. Compared to Mother`s Gold Class, I like it a lot better. I recently used both, back-to-back this past weekend and found PowerWash+ to be slipperier, and the suds lasted a lot longer. Plus I like the smell. Mother`s smells like bubble gum to me.



    The baby shampoo is a good thing to use when you don`t have your normal shampoo, but I don`t think that I`d make a habit of it.

    With Zaino finish I would rather use a soap designed for a car`s finish and one that does not have any oils in it. For emergency I have used baby shampoo on a carnuba waxed car.



    Pollen + black car = in garage and drive company car or beater

    Pollen and black cars. Doesn`t get much worse. I washed it yesterday because my car was green, and after a couple hours outside, it`s green again.



    Actually, the main reason I washed it was because I had it parked at a friend`s house and his elementry school age daughter wrote on my car with her finger in the pollen. Stupid SOB. I got pretty mad and wanted to yell at the kid, but I reluctantly refrained.

    Hey Jim, were you referring to Mothers California Gold or Meguiar`s Gold Class? You kind of mixed and matched

    `puter, I`ll have to check...the bottle has a red label and the soap is a golden yellow, if that helps. I picked it up at a supermarket on impulse.
