My roomate told me using dishsoap for car wash messes up the paint and leaves spots on it. I haven't seen this happen to my car (or at least I dont think), but do you know if there is any truth to this?

i don't see anything worng with using dishsoap on your car.. i done it on other cars i have had... and if you look at the labels for both dish soap and car soap.. same stuff.. car soap just dosn't use cirtic acid... which not all dish soap has anyway..

Dish soap is made to dissolve grease, fats, and cooked on **** off your dishes quickly. Cars on the other hand dont need that type of aggressive formula seeing as dirt comes off pretty easy and a lite detergent is all that is needed. And they make rubbing compounds for the harder stuff like bugs and tar. And Ive never seen a soap with ingredients on the side besides "active ingredients" which is usually a list of one.
