While searching the web for DIY wax recipes to get me started on a little project, I stumbled across this article. I'm not sure what bothered me more, the article itself, or the readers comments. http://fakeitfrugal.blogspot.com/2012/01/fake-car-wash.html (read if you dare)

LoL the majority of the people commenting dont have the slightest clue about automotive paint.

Pledge...im in the Army and some soldiers use it to polish their corafam dress shoes for their dress blues.

That's the customer base you don't want. Ignorance is bliss. Maybe that's what that site should be named.

The tip about using WD40 as a waterless was also helpful. Learned two things today.

Just make sure there is no silicone in anything you use because if a part needs to be painted it will fish eye and not look so great! But cool idea i use dawn dish soap for my car and rims like it say cuts the grease :-D

Using Pledge as a touch-up before selling a boat is a widely held secret.

It makes even a dirty, water-spotted boat look great for a few days.

Slippery as heck though.

I wouldn't think it would harm the paint but can you imangine how much buffing it would take to remove it?
Well that's when it would be harmful to the paint, all that buffing.
Not to mention it would be like a dust magnet.
Nah, I'll stick with my DP Quick Detailer and Rinse-Less Wash and Gloss and my Chemcial Guys P-40.

I'm sure there will try it though.

It comes down to people not being educated! This is why I educate all my customers on how to wash their cars the right way.
