HS car wash used dish soap on my car
So I went to a hs car wash, and I didn't know what they were using (dumb thing in my part) and they used some green works product on my car.

So does that hurt the paint? I'm gonna wash my car tomorrow. I mean its only been on my car for like 2 minutes and rinsed off.

If it was dish soap all it will do is strip all the wax off... some detailers use dish soap to start a detail to remove all the built up wax

I believe there was a little wax left but does it do any permanent, or harmful damage to my car?

Don't worry, your paint will be fine. There is a reason why paints have clearcoats

Wash the car, apply a layer of dependable wax and stay away from HS car washes.

+1 Just give them the price of admission to show your support and drive on, they won't mind
