Yeah, dish soap'll mess up your paint. Used to use it on my old car -- bad idea...
But back to the A2Z thing. I used to use their "C" type cleaner for painted wheels and never had a problem with it. Apparently they've discontinued that now in favor of their A2Z stuff, so I bought some. I've used it 2-3 times straight outta the spray bottle, and the last two times I did I noticed nasty streaks and runs on the wheels!
Has anyone else noticed this? It didn't just wipe off either. I had to wash and scrub on them again without using A2Z. The most recent time I washed my car, I diluted the A2Z with some water, and I didn't notice any streaking. I don't know if I got a batch of it that's too strong or what. It has also left spots on the car's paint where I tried to remove some crud. I used to use the "C" type stuff to remove bugs from the front bumper, but this new junk seems WAY stronger than the old stuff. Way TOO strong. I'd much rather have the "C" type back!
