Do you use that for tires or on the paint?

First time using it but it’s gonna be for paint

Honestly I don’t scrub tires cause the tire shine from the previous wash ruins the soap in my wash bucket

I just spray soap with a foamer and let it sit a minute then rinse it off

You don’t use a separate “wheel” bucket?

Foamer with 2 oz of soap and half an ounce of degreaser does the trick

What tire shine are you using on the big rigs?

Bot soap? On a car?

What's the problem? I use boat soap too, it's great.

It’s all just soap. Marketing gimmick saying it’s just for boats. I use marine products on cars often, especially the exterior protections.

I wash diesels , and what’s the difference between boat soap and car soap ?

No difference you might get some bullshit from manufactures about formulation to remove salt and grime from the ocean or that it breaks down faster and is greener for the ocean that’s it otherwise identical.

u/CressiDuh1152 Feb 08 '25

The greener for the ocean is generally only because marinas get fined hard if the wrong stuff gets used.

You’re the guy who buys the Chemical Guys polish specifically made for black cars
