You wouldn't wash your hair with laundry detergent, so why wash your car with dish detergent? When it's time to wash their car, many people fill a bucket with water and dish detergent. Of course, you aren't trying to get last night's lasagna off your car, so today's dish detergents are far too harsh for your car's paint job.

Washing your used gem is an essential part of use car maintenance that can help maintain your used car value! Pick a soap that is designed to clean today's car finishes. Your car will look great, and your paint job will last a lot longer! You can find car wash detergent at any department store. If you are unsure which one is right for your car, go to a car supply store such as V.I.P. or Sanel Auto Parts and ask a clerk for help.
