[QUOTE="RRMBrembo, post: 15532270, member: 160382"] There is an argument that while dawn may be just fine on paint, it is very aggressive on trim, especially black trim and causes it to dry out and fade prematurely. When I was a kid I used to help my dad wash the Chrysler minivan we had and he used dish soap. I remember him complaining about the black trim turning grey. Granted this is just one instance and there is no direct proof that "dawn" did this (plus it was a shitty Chrysler minivan). More often than not, I use car washes that boost or help keep up the wax/sealant that I currently have on it so the need for a stripping wash is minimal and if I am stripping the last wax/sealant then whatever compound I'll be using will take it off. I just don't see the cost savings by using dawn vs a decent car wash shampoo. IF dawn strips off the last wax/sealant, then you're going to have to re-apply which means you are wasting time instead of just boosting the current wax/sealant. [/QUOTE]
