can this wash be used on a clearcoat finish?

I do believe almost every car has a clear coat finish right? I have a pretty shiny 2012 Ford Focus with brilliant metallic yellow paint and a clear coat I use this car wash with confidence. So, I'd say yes.

One of my cars has a clearcoat finish and I use Mother's car wash liquid on it with no negative results. It's a good soap product, not nearly as abrasive or chemical-laden as many others on the market for a few dollars less.

Pretty sure you can. This wash was gentle on my car that I had to use a sponge with it to get all the dirts away but it makes the job easier. I do believe this is the best for some quick and easy wash that you wouldn't want to re-wax the whole car every time.

Absolutely. Just use as directed. You might be surprised about how little you really need in the bucket. I would suggest using the two bucket method.

I think the answer is, it depends. I use it to lightly coat my cast-iron woodworking surfaces to keep the rust away in the humidity of Houston. However you can apply this as a finishing coat to wood surfaces if you want that kind of antique finish look. It would be best to read the following article and make the decision for yourself. The small amount that goes onto metal wood working surfaces is not enough to mess up any staining you may do as a finishing touch as you most likely will lightly sand the surface and remove any of the wax that may have come off the metal surface onto the unfinished wood (i do this all the time and never had a problem staining after using my tools). http://woodworking.about.com/od/finishing/p/PasteWaxWoodFinish.htm

It should work fine, I used it on a pair of frames that were black & clear. The clear part was dull and white in spots, the polish restored the clear part and polished the black to a nice sheen! Try it on the inside first, and go from there!

Yes, you can use it on any color, including white. It will make the color bright in your case. I've used it on a dark blue, maroon, and fire truck red clearcoat paint. It just brings out the natural color and finish of the paint. It should make your vehicle more bright.

Yes, I have used it over Duplicolor Perfect Match Acrylic Lacquer without any problems. I let the base coat dry for a few days first.

Not personally, but the makers do have a video about using this for wool coats here http://www.dailycandy.com/everywhere/video/fashion/95597/How-to-Wash-a-Coat-The-Laundress

The answer is "no". It is not the right solution for that. Instead use a synthetic based (so soap does not dissolve it away so readily) automotive wax like Nu Finish.

It should work really well but be careful. It is not recommended for clear coat paint.

Yes. Use the fine finish adapter for this and remember to clean it out with paint thinner.

It works well with any gel polish. I always use the 90 second setting, and after all coats wipe with alcohol to take away the tackiness.

I agree with the others. You can use it on laminate, but definitely use three coats. You'll love the results!

Hurt the clear coat? I would say no!This product will not remove or harm a hand applied coat of wax, thus it will not harm the factory clear coat,. This is a high quality product. I am not a car expert, I am a auto enthusiast and I use this product often with good results.

This would not be enough on its own to remove contaminants and old wax in preparation for polishing and fresh wax. You could certainly use this for the initial wash, but ideally you want to follow with something like Pinnacle's Paintwork Cleansing Lotion or the P21S Paintwork Cleanser. For even more cleaning power, use a clay bar after washing before a paint cleanser, then polishing and waxing.Cheers!

I personally think that adding a clear coat will make removing the DIP a little harder to peal especially if the DIP is not very thick. You can use the Glossifier to give it a shine but it will not look like a factory painted base coat / clear coat finish on a car. Regardless if you use the Glossifier or not once it has dried for 24 hours or more, give it a once over with Armorall (The original interior kind) it will give it a smoother feel and bring out a little more shine.

Yes, this product was designed for modern clear coat finishes and works exceedingly well on those. It is also effective on single stage lacquer and enamel finishes.

I've used it on my white gti and its worked great. Can't say anything about using it on a car without clear coat.
