Is It 'Safe' To Wash Your Car With Fairy Liquid ?

Thread title changed changed to a more appropriate one IMO

Don't care what anyone says, the answer to the new thread title is NO!

I myself use Fairy daily in max protect coated cars with zero issues, why would max Protect themselves recommend something to maintain their coatings if it would jeopardise the coating or the paintwork, for Normal coatings I’m not sure but for Max Protect it is absolutely fine

You know loads of coating manufacturers recommend dish soap prior to coatings ;)

Wouldn’t use FL on any of my cars but by hell it does a fab job of cleaning my caravan :D
 
Gee you guys are precious!!!

It's a darn car for +&%$ sake - won't let me say ****** car.

Its function is to get you from A to B to C and look nice on the way - but look out for whatever!

Flying thingies go 'SPLAT' and flies, sparrows, and pigeons just '****' and I don't even wanna mention a 'CAT' any even when out drivin' your precious there's oncoming cars and trucks and busses and/or idiot motorcyclists then can throw road gravel or a chipping brick or two or three and hey, never mind that puddle/pot hole/dropped grid/high repair, whatever etc...

Its a ****** car, get a life!

And I've 2-petrol and 1-diesel and I love the DIESEL way more than the petrol, lol: them waxes I spent hours and hours using long ago were binned between then and now!

PS: took me a year to paint this, what a waste, maybe....



Mine for 37-years so whatever anyone says I've done as much as most... :yahoo:

As for washing you car; a bucket of clean DI water with a good quality liquid wax and a rinse with filtered water from a Raceglaze is as good as you'll get - and darn faster too; all this polishing nonsense, really... :sadlike:

I do wonder how many of you guys remove a wheel and tyre and review what's underneath?

Like so, my 8-year old RS3:

8 year RS3

Wash it with whatever, just rinse it off with as close to rainwater you can afford... :thumbs up:

You're in the wrong forum then my friend ;-)

Also, why choose the expensive dish washer liquid, surely Tesco's value stuff would ****** up your paintwork as good....
