Here is a quick and easy way to wash the car. The other day I decided to wash my car windows, which were looking pretty smeary. I used a bowl of vinegar and water about 3 cups water and one of vinegar. When I was through, I wiped off the hood which was looking pretty dusty - and dried it and before I knew it,I cleaned the entire car.

I was sure it would dry with smears, etc. but it didn't. It really looked pretty good. I have a compact car, so a larger car would probably need more water and vinegar. I was really pleased with the results - no hosing down - and only took about ten minutes. I will definitely do this again.

This is great news for me - we have severe water restrictions in South Australia and are not supposed to be using water to wash cars so I will try this method using water from our rain water tank - a bucket is about all I can spare - my car hasn't been washed since 31 Dec 2006 - looks pretty grotty

Hi did you only wipe it down on the windows or the car body as well?

What about using this formula on the INSIDE of the car...dashboard, steering wheel, etc?

I have a black pick-up and it is very hard to keep from streaking when I wipe dry after washing it. So now after washing I let it drip dry and then I spray with a mix of 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar in a spray bottle and then wipe dry. It shines like new. So far it has not damaged the paint and I have been doing this for 2 years. I wax it once a year

Isn't vinegar very acidic? I would be worried about this hurting the finish on the paint, or does this sound like an extreme concern?
