Well to defend myself I am going to point to Ian (xoc) who said...

"Is there really a difference ?

I've used Dawn (or whatever is under the sink) forever. We even used dish soap when I detailed cars for Nissan in 1982.

I've never had paint problems on any of my vehicles."


But you anti-dish soap ppl will all be glad to know that I did NOT wash my X with dish soap. The dealership did a nice job on the wax before I picked it up, and I didn't want to remove it yet, so I went out and bought some Meguairs Car Wash instead. So now my kit looks like this:

Two plastic buckets
Large Sponge
Tire scrubber
Meguairs Car Wash
Absorber for drying (worked very well)
Meguiar's 3 step wax (tested on our 1998 Maxima...hard work but worth it)
Terry Towels 100% cotton (couldn't find usa, only pakistan)
Mother’s Back to Black
Meguiar's Quik Detail
Meguair's Endurance Tire Gel

Thanks for your input and I'm just glad I didn't forget to pick up my flame-retardant suit when I signed on to this board.

PS gmaxis - you have got to try my Xomelet. On a hot Austin day with the engine running I can cook one right on the hood in 10 minutes flat. Mmmmmmm good!
