Foam Gun and Dawn

[Joshs2013MSAltimaSL]

I know some people use Dawn as a prewash to remove any old wax and what not. Has anyone ever used it in a foam gun as a presoak?

I wouldn't use Dawn for anything to do with a car.

please leave Dawn in the house ... highly alkaline is not needed in car care. Use a paint cleanser, or polishing as needed to remove old waxes and sealants.

Alright. Figured I'd ask before. I put Meg's Gold Class shampoo in my foam gun for a good presoak now, but was just curious about the Dawn. Thanks guys!

Dawn is for Dishes and pots and pans, that stuff with eat up trim, especially if its black...Dawn is not made for cars !!!

I use 97% Alcohol for removal.

Ouch !! You're being a little harsh on the Beav, aren't you Ward? ( Leave it to Beaver) Besides, if you use a good quality Microfiber for a IPA wipe down, you wont be leaving swirl marks....Any other comments?

Thats why I drive a BMW and you drive a Dodge....how you like me now smoky ??? There is plenty more from where that came from too !!

Wendell, I've gone ahead and started using undiluted 91% IPA after asking you about it in another thread. Works magic on tar and no streaking! Great for those areas on the paint behind the wheels that get a lot of abuse.

Good deal, I really like the fact too, like you stated there is hardly any cleanup afterward s !!

Alcohol mixed with a quality Car Wash liquid is the best AID to remove WAX. Just get the PH below 6 and a natural wax removal process takes place. It will not harm the paint unless you have chips to bare metal. LOWER PH (BELOW 7) equals wax removal.
