    I use it to wash my oily hair and skin. It works, but I fell for the scare tactics and bought expensive washing products. My bad. How do you back a car out the driveway, it’s impossible to tell if other cars are coming. Move to Florida, lots of room.

    Thank you Darren. Very good advice about one section at a time. A tip: It sounds crazy, but for e.g. MB Tex or old VW Bug seats; a product called ‘Cif’ is good for dealing with deep grime. Then clean again, with a less abrasive product. Then… maybe use a silicone based spray, to restore the shine to the surfaces. Best regards from Australia 🇦🇺 😊 👍

    Its funny how some YTer's are trashing basic soap that is safe on ur body and to be around and others treat it like its literally liquid hot Uranium that will destroy your car, glass, rubber for all eternity. And many say it will kill modern waxes and sealants, ceramic this, graphene that. I wish dawn wax could strip old (current tech) wax, it would make things so much easier, but it doesn't. Dawn just isnt a good soap because it just have that smooth, lubricating action that a real, even basic 10 dollar car wash soap has.

    I watched another video where they used a nylon bristle brush and a foamy cleaner. They said the foamy cleaner won't run down through the holes and you use the bristle brush tilted at an angle as you scrub lightly from 4 different directions. It seemed to work pretty well in the video and was a lot faster than when I was using a toothpick earlier today on each individual hole with marginal success.

    It won't damage your car paint but it will strip any protection product you have on it! The main reason people are against it is the amount of salt (sodium chloride) that's in it.

I swear ppl just say no not to use it so u can buy other brand soaps or just car shampoo soaps w.e but back in the day when those things weren’t a thing ppl used some dishwashing soap and water not a lot of it ur not dumping half the bottle not even an quater of it just like a spoon full or two and thats it it will do the job

    No Mr Gay Lord, this product is to be used only AFTER washing the car. Why do you add additional untrue info? Maybe you're Jewish! Yes, after washing the car use this product as it will make the surface cleaner as if it was already polished. That's what they mean by cleaner wax.

    Doesn’t destroy the paint but if I want it to shine then it’s the worst choice. Used dish detergent for years until I started using wash wax made for clear coat. It’s good for filthy cars tires and wheels because of grease oil cutting power

    Dawn will damage your vehicle paint and clear coat. Buy some Decontamination Fine Clay Bar mitts if worried so much as how bad your car looks. Using Dawn will eat away at your clear coat. It is not marketed, no established Professional Auto Detailer uses it, not much on RUclips saying Everyone should use Dawn as the auto wash soap. Auto paints all have Gone Green or Water Based so what do you think Dawn will do to your newer autos of the last decade.

    On of the best products ive used. Easy to apply, last a decent amount of time (around 2-3 months) and also leaves a nice shiny surface. As a note! Before you apply it, make sure to wash your car of any dust or dirt because otherwise you will damage the paint.
