European Car Magazine whipped out a Meguiar press release debunking everything you thought you knew about washing your car.
The article mentioned a lot of how we kill our loving cars everyday without knowing it. Here are just two out of the twelve myths we discovered:
Myth 1: Dishwashing detergent is safe to use as car wash. It’s either we’re all too cheap to buy our hard-earned car, that we use a cheap dishwashing liquid to clean it or we’re too lazy to go out and buy a decent car washing liquid.
Myth 11: Lighting a hood on fire, without damaging the paint finish, proves the protective qualities of a car wax. The one who started this must be crazy. The paint finish is not at all affected by the flaming alcohol anyway.
