Default Don't do it! Baking powder is an abrasive..........

I bet it "takes the wax and acid rain deposits off"..along with your clearcoat and paint too!

Good pee is something you shouldn't waste. Use it on rocks and trees to keep wolves and deer away.

if you've had a lot of water, can you just go on the car itself?

Default I always go the Dawn route, but I had someone suggest this to me and I was a bit suspicious...

I've never heard of anything like this so I figured I'd see what you all thought.
Didn't end up doing it anyways, did the usual spring season routine today, Dawn, claybar, glaze (#7.. twice) and Mother's Cali Gold. Car was dying for attention after the winter but it looks oh so a-very-a nice-a now. ; )
