Washing a car with Vinegar
Washing a car with Vinegar
Since Vinegar is safe for ceramic tint and is a powerful cleaner would it be a good idea to use to wash a car? I been wondering this for a long time. Vinegar is cheaper too than car soap

Man, you would have the nastiest smelling car around, and if any "accidentally" went into your A/C vents by the windshield, you're going to be smelling for a while....
Plus u can buy a Gallon jug of car wash for what? 5-6 bucks, and that should last you a LONG time, considering you're only supposed to use a few ounces each wash....

Vinegar does have its place in caring for your car. It does a good job at removing deposits which settle to form water spots. A small amount of vinegar on a MF towel can sometimes remove stubborn water spots from the paint and glass. I would suggest reapplying wax afterwards though since it will remove any protection that you may have on the paint.
Soooo you see you are not totally off the wall with that question

Dude, vinegar can be used for very specific purposes (diluted, to remove waterspots) but to wash the entire car??? Car wash if fairly inexpensive (go to target, walmart, napa), I hope that you're not being serious...
