Ok, let the flaming begin.

There is nothing wrong with washing a fiberglass car with a water hose & "CAR WASH".

You just have to remember to,
1) Let the car sit in the shade for an hour or so to let it cool off & don't wash it when it is still too hot outside. It's best to wait until the sun goes down.
2) Use a car wash product not dish soap.
3) It is much easier to use just the hose with the water running out instead of a spray nozzle.

I had 77 vette that I washed that way for many years (10+) and the paint was almost as good as when the paint was fresh (normal wear & tear). There are a lot of fiberglass cars out there and a little water never hurts. Does it hurt fiberglass boats to be in the water?

Of course that is only my opinion, which I should probably keep to myself, but oh well.
