Car shampoo will leave a slight coating a wax but it has to be a very very small amout otherwise it would leave your seat, brake discs etc with a coating of wax on , not a good idea.
Ha ha! Yeah when I think about it like that it does sound a tad silly.
What I really wanted to say was it's like the mindset of the of the smoker saying stuff like ' I have done this for 40 years and it has never done me any harm'
There is possilby unseen damage going on.
I worked on the building sites since the early to mid 60's and really believed that the outside life was a healthy option, physical activity plenty of fresh air, manual stuff keeping weight down and causing the old oil pump to thump away pumping the blood around, the heart is like any other muscle if you work it will become stronger.
So I believed that I was fit and strong and I worked as a self employed brickie until I was nearly 69, still well able to do the job, but worn out wrist joints caused arthritis and could no longer do the job, so I retired. I have recently discovered that I have asbestosis caused by some the materials that were used in construction years ago, insulation materials and roof cladding sheets. This stuff has been working away in the background in my bellows un-noticed for 50 or more years doing damage that is unrepairable.
Which has got fuck all to do with washing your RD in Fairy Liquid lol! :wall :uhuh
