Car shampoo

dont know if this is the right place to ask... what makes microtex shampoo great? how does it not strip off the wax compared to other shampoos/soaps? mas ok kung technical yung sagot. :D like "it does not have.." this or that.. been reading on how to make car shampoo.. and was surprised na may "industrial salt". i think its used to thicken the solution? is this normal or would this just contribute to rusting?

any other recommended car shampoos that are wax safe and is a bang for your buck?

AFAIK... "industrial salt" is for the manufacturing of sodium hydroxide, which is used for saponification... which is the process of making soaps.

either that or it's used to make sodium laurel/laureth sulfate... which is the surfactant for shampoos.

since soaps, detergents, and shampoos work the same way, the basic degreasing/cleaning power of these substances largely depend on the concentration of these surfactants.

not familiar with the other additives, though.

personally I use bigbert's shampoo... 400 per gallon. hehe. sulit
