I do almost the same thing. The color change of the Sonax wheel cleaner "working" is an added bonus. I also just bought a foamer for the pressure washer and got some Chemical Guys Maxi Suds Grape car wash. It smells great!
Amen brother. Getting old and starting to feel back pain the next day from all the bending involved in washing two cars (mine and the wife's SUV).
Last year, when I declared myself freed from the "war" on Ma Nature, my resolve to wash my car every time it gets spotted resulted in quite a few new pains, especially in my shoulders, especially my left shoulder, which still continues over half a year later. However, it is less all the time and I do therapy (my own, I do not go to therapists), and I know that "use it or lose it" (particularly in middle age, the moment of decision!) applies here as in all things.
Once the activity is turned into muscle memory, the continuing of it will drive pains away. This I have proven.
I wouldn't dare. My wife with her ultra sensitive olfactory actually complained the first few weeks about the new car smell!? If you can believe it!? Any added new smell would be met with a negative response. When I still had my Voyager, I'd get the complimentary car wash "new car" scent mirror dangly. And each time my wife rode with me, she'd toss it into the carport. Marriage is a compromise. The dangly tosser I could put up with: the critic of my brand new Stinger's interior "smell" I could not. She shut up about it, if she wanted to ride with me at all. And eventually she confessed that she had gotten used to it and adapted. But the compromise from my end is that I must refrain from introducing any further scent/smell into the mix.
she's probably right , if you can smell it , its probably not healthy ,unless you use natural essential oils....................
I literally do not apply anything with a smell about it at all. When I clean, I use cotton and microfiber and a spray bottle with water and a dash of ammonia. You can't smell that (vinegar is right out). If I need something stronger, I use isopropyl alcohol very sparingly.
