Can I use Dish Soap to Wash My Car

the simple answer is no. Washing with dishsoap that does not have Ph neutral properties will strip any wax that was applied to the car as well as prematurely wear exterior trim pieces. Dishsoap also tends to leave a spotty vehicle. Pick up some Meguiars Gold Class at your nearest Canadian tire and help preserve the finish on your car for years to come.

Polishing your paint

Most people find it hard to tell just how bad their paint really is ontheir vehicle. Having an expert, like myself, polish the exterior paint, really brings back the original colour of the faded or swirled paint. There are many approaches to polishing exterior automotive paint and calling for a free appraisal is the only sure way to get the results you are looking for. At Concours Touch we don't charge for appraising a polishinig job and are always willing to help out the DIY'ers with undertaking the taunting task of polishing the paint to perfection.

Get the poop off our car

Bird poop and bug guts are very acidic in nature. Allowing them to bake on your vehicle can do some very big damage to the paint. Keep a micro fiber towel on board and use a quick spritz of a quick detailer help aid in its removal. Once the clear coat has been cracked by the acid it cannot be fixed by polishing. It is always good to put some wax or sealant on your vehicle to help prevent damage by having a protective layer present.

Keeping your wheels looking clean longer

Many people wax or seal their car but neglect to protect their wheels. It is a good idea to wax or use sealant on your wheels to help keep them looking better,longer. A layer of wax will also help during the wash process as the oils and dirt from the brake system are sitting on a layer of sealant or wax rather than in the rim itself. Give your rims a little extra love and it may save you some time in the future when washing your car.

Why should I use a sealant or wax on my car?

Waxes and sealant contain UV blockers in their formulations. This helps reduce the amount on UV light from hitting the paints causing fading or oxidation of the paint. If you want to make you paint look newer, longer; use a wax or sealant every 3 months or so, depending on wash practices. Touchless washes and drive through washes will strip almost all the wax so it is best to give it so TLC with so automotive shampoo instead. Dish soap is not for automotive use and should be used on your greasy dishes and not your dirty car.

2010 Special

There will be a special running all year for 2010 customers. Whenever you purchase an Adavances package or one of our premium packages you receive a free exterior wash. This wash can be used on the same car at a later date or can be used on another car. You can also transfer the wash to another car. Ie, you have a minivan that needs a full shampoo but you would like your car waxed instead, no problem.

New Interior Protection System coming to Canada

At Concours Touch we have been looking to find products that are both environmentally safe and user safe as well. We have finally found a product that has both properties and also provide a safe coating to interiors that continues to kill bacterias, viruses, and molds continually for more than 2 years. We will be offering packages using this new product in the spring of 2010, and as always we will continue to help the environment and our customers.

Winter Blahs

Winter tends to take its tole on us and our vehicles. Salt not only beats up the outside of the car but also make for a nice white ring on our floor mats and carpets. A cheap and effective way to help rid you car of those staing, (although a little smelly) is to use vinegar and hot water. The acids in the vinegar will help break down the salt in your automobile, but does leave a little unpleaseant vinegar smell. We have alternative solutions to vinegar but if it is something that a do it your selfer wants to take on than a little vinger and hot water and elbow grease will do the trick.
