Wouldn't that make the car smell like dishwashing liquid?

But who would go and smell the outside of the car? Doesn't the smell go away after it dries and/or a couple of hours? For example, when you're eating dinner, your plates don't smell of dish washing liquid. Or does it?

it will strip your car layer of wax. then all dirt will stick on ur car body.

ur clear coat will start to dull and get thinner and thinner then proceed with the base paint. rust will start appear.

then u got a crappy car.

But fear not. it take time. if u change car every 5 years should be ok.

Indeed ... never use cif ... if u don't wash it off properly ... its stays there to corrode it further

not good, tried exactly the same dishwasher. few times ok, but as times pass you can see the colour are fading slowly. the same goes for the car washer outside that cost you 10bucks. unless you bring along ur car washing liquid.

Too expensive.

I prefer use Axion instead. What formula they use to make it I dunno, but its extremely easier to rid dirt and oil, also not 'bersabun' afer using it.. smile.gif
