It seems to me that at one point in my life I've read on a bottle of
Murphy's that it was OK to use it to wash(warsh here in the midwest) the car
with it. My friend at the body shop laughed his head off when I mentioned it
to him ( but what does he know!!) It all natural so it shouldn't hurt
anything. I think I'll try it!!!
