Vinegar is acidic, I would only use that on windows. I once had a bottle of vinegar that leaked in my garage, and it seriously etched the concrete!

Vinegar is mainly a dilute aqueous solution of acetic acid
Most commercial distilled white vinegars contain 5% acetic acid and have a pH (potential hydrogen) of about 2.4. Pure water has a pH of 7 and is neutral.
Now ask yourself...do I want to wash my car with acid?


btw Lemon Juice has about the same pH but would smell much nicer.

I agree on the windows w/ vinegar. It cleans great.. also great if you want to get stinky smell out of clothes. Just put about 1 cup of vinegar in a medium size wash, 2 cups for large and all the stinky, sweaty smell will be gone. But don't use it for washing your Baby G.

And apple cider vinegar is supposed to be good for you heart and help lower cholesterol! I know someone who had a heart attack almost 40 years ago, and has been taking a swig of that every day, and is doing great still! (I know, off topic!)

It's because I cant afford car soap because I just dropped off my rear bumper and rear side skirt to repaint them for $450

I'm wondering if it is better than car soap to get the car cleaner. I'm going to use it with a sponge.

Dude, if you honestly can't afford car soap you really shouldn't have the G to begin with. Also, don't wash your car with a sponge, get sheepskin mitt (if you can afford it).

I had to Google it:

Keep car windows frost-free overnight in winter by coating them with a solution of 3 parts white distilled vinegar to 1 part water.

Polish car chrome with full-strength white distilled vinegar on a soft cloth.

Remove unwanted decals and bumper stickers by covering them with a cloth soaked in white distilled vinegar, or by repeatedly spraying them with full-strength white distilled vinegar. They should peel off in a couple of hours.

Rid the windshield wipers of road grime by wiping them with a white distilled vinegar-soaked cloth.

Remove the leftover odor after a rider has been carsick by leaving a bowl of white distilled vinegar overnight on the floor.

Get rid of hard water stains on your car with a rinse made from 3 parts soft water to one part white distilled vinegar.

Wipe vinyl upholstery with a mixture of equal parts white distilled vinegar and water.

Remove winter road salt residue on car carpeting by spraying with a mixture of equal parts white distilled vinegar and water, then blot with a soft towel.

Remove the hazy film that builds up on inside windows by spraying with white distilled vinegar.

Remove dirt and stains from car carpeting with a mixture of half white distilled vinegar and half water.

When doing car maintenance, soak rusty bolts and screws with white distilled vinegar to make them easier to remove.

Loosen chewing gum stuck to carpeting or upholstery by soaking it in white distilled vinegar.

Create an all-purpose window cleaner with a few ounces of white distilled vinegar in a quart of water.

Give leather upholstery an extra shine by cleaning it with hot white distilled vinegar and rinsing with soapy water.

Make your car extra shiny by adding a few drops of white distilled vinegar to your bucket of water.

I guess a few drops won't hurt

I was being sarcastic.

I'm going to try it out next time I wash it just to see how it is. My car will be cleaner probably.
