I am shipping my car to Cali today and one of the requirements is that your car be washed before you take it to them. So I went to wash it and I was out of car wash, what I did have though was Palm Olive Aroma therapy dish soap. I've read things online saying don't wash with it but I did anyways. The result is the cleanest car I have ever had, the thing is so clean. It did take all the wax off but that isn't a problem because I am gonna wax it before it goes. I just had a bucket with clean water, a rag, and a hose. I put the dish soap directly on the rag and did my car one section at a time and now it looks amazing, plus it smells like lavender now.
