I thought I'd share an article that was written on how to wash your car in about 10 minutes.

It covered some pretty basic stuff and I was able to share a few tips and tricks that made it in the article. I think the writer did a good job of getting the idea of what I was saying.

It certainly isn't Advanced Detailing for Autogeeks and Autopians but if we can get car owners out there to the site to learn more about better car care, mission accomplished.

ABC News is one of the outlets that picked up the article:

Get the Grime off Your Car In 10 Minutes

Disclaimer:
I did mention that I could easily spend 1-2 hours washing my personal ride but the theme was 10 minutes. 10 minutes to apply your makeup, 10 minutes to wash your car and etc...
 
Very nice write up! I think the big thing you cleared up for people was not to use dish soap...I hear about people using it all the time!

Just to clarify for that that have used dish soap. I'm sure that every once in a while isn't going to damage the paint (even though I don't personally recommend it). My concern when doing the interview was for those that use the dish soap every time they wash the car.

To those that do use dish soap, I always defer to the Dawn website:

FAQ

Can I use Dawn to clean things other than dishes?
Dawn is so effective in cutting grease on dishes that over the years, consumers have used Dawn on other greasy messes around their homes, from cleaning kitchen messes like grease build up on the stove range hood to oily spots in the garage. Dawn is not recommended for window cleaning, car washing, body wash or washing hair.

I'm ignoring you :laughing:

OK, not really. But don't hold your breath for the Dwayne50 sale. If we do it, it will last for 5 minutes, be launched in the dark of night and only happens every 15 years. :bolt:
