Washing car with Kerosene (pitch oil)???

[Trini Hookah]

I used Quix dishwashing detergent a couple times. Now only reason I did, is because after washing dishes, and dirty DVD's and CD's with it, I realized it cleaned really well and polished up with a simple shine, wanted to experiment. Tried it on the car a few times, and nice results. I used micro fiber and Chamois though, to avoid putting those find scratches you see on the clear coat. It's easy on the clear coat. You don't even need to use much. And it dries really fast, streak free, lemony scented also! I find Kerosene kills the clear coat and dulls the paint.

Squeezy never touch any of my vehicles, low ph FTL.

Pure water and sponge (simple green diluted to wash off kero if it have tar). Auto glym bodywork shampoo and conditioner when I doing a good wash.

Is blue waters yuh washing yuh car wit dey??

Dude are you aware that squeezy and breeze etc are very corrosive ... Better buy a nice car shampoo instead...

I diluted it alot. Wasn't soapy though. Didn't damage the clear coat. It cleaned normal and polished up a bit. To my knowledge it's not highly corrosive.

its DISHwashing liquid not car wash shampoo. what you are experiencing is a placebo
i use autoglym car shampoo. works well.

either a meguiars or auto glym polish for road tar.
no way kerosene touching my car.

The idea of washing a vehicle with a solution of kerosene emulsified in water has been around for decades and in fact was very common a few decades ago.
When this approach was used,it was necessary to wash vehicle in 'cool' and rinse with a detergent solution.An application of a quick polish followed.
Paint finishes on vehicles very rarely had clear coat.
Today with kerosene hard to lay hands on, paint finishes with associated complexities and the easy availability of all kinds of products .....the old methods are dying.
I remember using Johnsons baby oil on my dash on a Vauxhall 102 (2000) and was a crude real thick 'black jack' type glue on tires.

Olden days they used kerosene in water to wash cars as it helped resist corrosion in areas prone to heavy sea blast.

[nigie]

wd40 works just as good and may not be as harsh on your paint as kerosene.

BTW- anybody ever heard of this? everyone i've spoken to has never heard about it. after washing and before drying, mix a little amorall with water and spray conservatively onto area and chamois in a circular motion. Eliminates minor scratches and gives a great shine.

that may work temporarily but as soon as the car gets wet that amourall will wash off.

a good filler polish will last longer and work better

Op like everything else , use in moderation kerosene is a good engine degreaser as well .

Wont spray that under there at all. I think kero damages seals and stuffz

I stick to the simple green on this end, works like a charm.

Simple green is a Harsh industrial degreaser...this dry rots rubber and plastic seals...

but too each his own....
