All washing up liquids will damage your paintwork, they are far too harsh and will strip out all the paints oils. Plus, as v64paul has said, they contain salt, which is hardly an ideal thing to be washing your car in! If you value your car wash it in Meguiars Gold Class shampoo and conditioner, (www.meguiarseurope.com )this is specially designed to protect and enhance car paint finishes, been using it for years, and it really does make a difference. Sure its a lot more expensive than Tesco washing up liquid, but when you come to sell the car you will more than get your money back, IMO.The Gold Class liquid polish is also excellent, and produces a hard smooth finish that you can actually feel under your finger nail, its smooth like glass, plus a fantastic 'deep' shine, especially on dark colours. I would never use a car-wash with those big whirly brushes, either, those things are never cleaned and have lots of accumulated grit in the bristles, a bit like washing your car with fine grade sand paper!
As someone who has formulated cleaning products in the past, I would not advise anyone to use washing up liquid to clean a car. It is much harsher in its cleaning action. There is far less salt in washing up liquid than there used to be, but it is quite nasty when applied to paint.
Most cleaning products are formulated for a specific job.
Well as is the general concensus in this thread in my oppinion the use of washing up liquid is a no no. It strips any silicone there might be on the paint surface and increases the chances of the paint becoming cloudy and faded.
As an ex valeter now paint sprayer panel beater i would say that the washing frequency is down to if it is dirty, what time of year it is etc, any mechanical tools (car wash / brushes etc) will cause damage to the paint. As a valeter i often had to mop (mechanical poilisher with correct compounds) cars with flat paintwork due to car wash brushes.
The best defence is a good quality shampoo, then a good quality polish, aviod polishes with a chalky drying finish, they can ruin the apearance of your plastics. If your paint work still seems flat, comon with non metalic colours, then having it mopped by a valeter (aprox �35) should bring it back up.
You should never ever use Fairy liquid to wash a car, it contains salt which is highly corrosive, it also contains other surfactants which will dull and ultimately destroy the paint finish, you should always use a car shampoo designed for the purpose of washing cars, even if its cheap stuff from poundland!!
