Has anyone washed their car with baby shampoo? It's mild and contains no strong chemicals so wouldn't this be an ideal car wash soap too?

LOL, that has never occured to me.  I'm sure someone's tried it on here.

I wonder though, because it's designed for skin, would it have some oil-removing properties (for skin) which might make it hard on the finish of a car?

Or perhaps it would be too mild?  Car wash soap has got to be a little bit agressive to do a decent job taking off dirt, doesn't it?

If your neighbor jumps off a bridge, are you going to do it?

Last time I heard this was in grade school.. you a grade school teacher or in grade school?

He made sense about the baby shampoo.. the soap is mild, it suds, and no harmful chemicals.. I looked at his cars and they are flawless...I post here to get another opinion.. and your post is the most dumbest thing I've heard in this forum since I've joined...

Using baby shampoo is the dumbest, try again. Next, you'll say is that cooking oil is good to put on my tires because it will protect them better.

And how did you come up with this very smart conclusion of yours? Enlighten me with your years of expertise in this forum.

And so what if I joined a few days ago.. your point is?? Being new to this forum means you know nothing about cars and how to clean them? And I thought your first comment was the dumbest..

I've done this before I read in my mom's manual after she got her escape that it should be washed with something this is ph balanced or something like that, and baby shampoos are, it seemed to work well, but it is easier to clean with the car soap.

I don't know about using baby soap to wash a car... but my mom used baby oil to wax her faded 89 camaro... made it look brand new...

I don't think baby shampoo would work to tell you the truth... maybe for a quick wash, when  you don't have time to wax after it. But for serious washing I would stick to regular car soap.
