BRZN Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Dawn Dishwasing soap used as your car wash shampoo followed up by clay barring the car. There are also wax remover chemicals available "out there". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubrunner Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Dawn does a brilliant job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GXPaycheck Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 IPA! Not the beer, that's for later. 50/50 mix isopropyl alcohol and water. Like Dawn, it can dry out plastics, so use that VRT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really contradictions, but 2 ways of getting the same results. Dawn wash is easiest, just replace the Adam's Car Wash with the Dawn. You should only use this method 1 or 2 times a year. The IPA method is more precise, and this is the method to use if you are doing the correction one panel at a time. Your choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I like the idea of the IPA wipedown.. with the dawn wash, isnt it a PITA to get the dawn residuals off of your cleaning tools? IE: wash pads, foaming gun, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Another vote for IPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goheels Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hmmm. I'm still a bit hesitant to wash with Dawn the next time I have to re-wax my car down the road, particularly since it is notorious for drying out the rubber trim, etc. Would it be OK to just use clay after the Adam's wash on a car that was waxed 5-6 mo ago?

Chris@Adams Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I am not a fan of Dawn wash. Maybe sometime in the near future Adam will come out with a strip wash! Hint Hint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IE: wash pads, foaming gun, etc.. DING! DING! DING! We have a winner! That is one reason why I use IPA, plus I have better control of what I'm stripping.
