Default washing

I got my car last sat., i noticed the back bottom area is a little dirty. I dont think i will start to wash it yet bc i dont want the paint to start fading. Also, i gotta get my plates, so they will wash it then for me.

anyway, what car wash soap does everyone use bc i dont know what to get.
thanks

I'm sure the detailing forum will have your answer.

I don't trust anyone but myself to wash my cars. I feel I do a better job. I use Eagle One soap and Eagle One wash as u dry wax each time. Works for me. Just don't use dish washing soap.

Where do you get the idea the paint will start fading?

Why will your paint fade if you wash it?

Just wash it, your dealer already did when you bought it...

I use meguiars tech wash...

LOL!! My friend, your car paint will not fade due to washing. Go to the detail forum and you will find what to do. Good luck and enjoy your new car!!

Surely this is a joke.
