That reminds me when I was growing up and a buddy of mine washed a car for someone. It was a white Peugeot but had some road grime and tar on it and he decided to make sure to get everything off..... with steelwool
![]() Needless to say, the car was dull, almost like flatblack but white. His dad ended up paying for a paint job.

Similar story, but on my mother's '48 Buick convertible, with White King D detergent left in the sun to really get out the dirt while I had a Popsicle. It had to be "porcelainized" to restore the luster. I'm not sure what that was in 1951, but it looked great when it came home, except for the bill.

Mine is not a washing woe but is a waxing woe. Hint: Like the White King, NEVER EVER apply Turtle wax on a car in the sun and leave it sitting while you go inside for a leisurely drink. I didn't try Boraxo or steel wool to get it off but I doubt using either could have looked any worse or upset the parental unit more.
