Makes sence.

audiboy are you familiar with ppm(parts per million)? This is the level of toxins in water. I highly dout that "any" "Automotive Soap" has the ability to completly balance the PH levels in "hard water". I have used "Dawn" on paint finishes before without a issue. I follow that with a good clay bar bath. Then the AIO is applied via PC 7424 at speed #4 with Meg's polishing pad. I then will apply PB EX-P by PC with lake country black finishing pad for a nice even coat. Let stand for 30 to 60 minutes and remove with PC on speed #5 with MF bonnet. Finally I would go over the detroyed "Dawn" washed paint with either Natty's or P21s(2x) if needed.

Now I would "bet the farm" that if you didnt know It was washed with "Dawn" you couldnt, and wouldnt be able to see/feel the differnce.
