A Washing Day

Well last night I went against the norm and decided not to drink. So I could only think of 1 thing, my car. Drove over to Walmart and picked up some stuff to wash my car. Since I'm here at school I don't have all the stuff w/ me (at home). One mistake I must point out. I have to go to one of those do it yourself places here at school for the water and I actually pushed the wrong button. I thought I pushed to water only, oops I hit the prewash w/ soap. Man that stuff they use bites. It left streak in my car (black) and was a real pain to wash off, the stuff just clung to my car. Even though I had my own soap I couldn't do too much since all I had enough was to rinse off my car after. Wipesd it down with the absorber and drove off. My main goal was to get the bird crap off which it did, but ouch that soap blows. Anyone else used to stuff?? It's a pink color and clings to the car like nothing I've ever used.

No drinking??? O my god! Its Cinco de Mayo, a perfect reason to drink! My liver is literally pissed at me now....that's my motto, a clean car always looks better and drives better!

I know what you mean. I used that stuff because I was in a rush and it jacked my paint up. It took me two washes to get it back to norm.

I think that soap is super strong and may as well be a degreaser which it could be. I bet it stripped your wax off and everything leaving the surface very clingy and that's why the soap stuck the way it did.
