Housewash recipe

[rj242 16]

I am looking for a housewash recipe. I have been using SC with 12.5%, which does fine. But I am interested in knowing what kind of soaps I can get locally to mix with 12.5%, that I can use when I am out of SC. I have heard of Dawn, Tide, Casacade etc. Just looking for a mix to downstream out of a 5er.

Thanks in Advance!

Dawn is one of the better substitutes. It probably has the best base to help "cling" of all the common soaps you mentioned.

car wash soap. good suds, economical, will give a wax sheen and rinses easily. Besides the fact that it is made for washing exterior surfaces.

How much of the soap, plus 12.5% in a 5er?

Chris I pick up whatever good brand (Turtle, Meguires, etc) is on sale for the month at Auto Zone. 20 oz per pail if you want a good wax effect.

For a five gallon mix-- do you use 2.5 gallons of SH 12%+2.5 gallons of water with a little soap (i.e. dawn)?

Good advice, as usual Ken :)

That Megulars really shines !

Gotta LOVE the water soluble wax :D

Easy on windows too !

ONCE, we got carried away doing a screen rooom with it.

Used WAY too much, LOL

The WAX stuck to the screens, what a mess!

I use 1.5 gallons of 12.5% Sh, 160z's of Citras-xterior- cleaner (soap warehouse) and fist full of cascade mixed with 4 gallons of water. Shine like a diamond.
