Secret Carwash Formula

[The Dan]

Hey, just washed my car this arvo and being the experimental person that I am, I decided to add something new.

I used my nomal car wash detergent and added half a cup of OMO MATIC front loader.

My car has never been as shiny as it is now. Must be the enzymes. Dunno if it will work for everyone but I am definately using it again.

its prob the tupack being eaten away

2Pac is DEAD!

I just use Pert 2in1 Shampoo and Conditioner...

[sproosy]

shampoo, washing machine detergent have very strong soapd in them. They are used for breaking down tough stains including paint, be very carefull. i had a mate that used to wash his car with soap on tap and now the paint is fu(ked. Wouldnt want you to get a respray from just using the wrong soap?!!!

[The Dan]

It will only eat the paint away if it has caustic in it. Which this one doesn't.

napi-san challange........

dude, if you really need to use something stronger, use CT18 ('truck wash') mixed at 10:1. Only do one panel at a time, in the shade. Be careful with it tho

It's all you need to get a dirt bike covered in mud clean...spray on..leave 5 mins, hose off. fortunatly it doesnt harm plastics, but u gotta be careful on the car

If you don't mind everything getting taken off. . . . I will stick to polishing my car every 6 months and only every washing with just water and a sponge. That why the mini can still win show'n'shine trophies 9 yrs after a respray.

CT18 is also good without mixing with water for getting rid of certain things.

CT18 is oldskool. I was using thaqt years ago. We use it at work to mop the floors. I got like 40 litres of it...lol. That stuff has a very high powered degreaser in it so you would wanna be careful how long you leave it on.

[eXc]

yep...that's what I said

I been using it for 20 years now...well techinically I have only used CT18 2 times, but I had a 'truck wash' before that, we had a few 20L drums and it's lasted 20 years. I was spewing when I had to buy some haha

Dad and I used to use laundry liquid/powder until we found out that laundry liquids have salt in them - not so good washing your car with salt water!

If you're wondering why you don't get salt crystalising it's because you hose it all off before it dries.

I stick with meguirs soft wash - if you take your time it does a great job.

Cheers

id rather use soft gel colour boost wash it does a great trick on both cars ..

[Bobjones]

CT18 is fine as long as you wash and rinse

I use Gold Class cause I am a snob....

And with the TXT new Meguirs polish I use Wash and wax and the whale has never been shinier...
