Soap question
(Posted to the Appearance forum first, got only one response from someone who frequents this forum. So, since we ALL wash our trucks...)
My favorite car wash soap was something called DuPont Car Wash powder, which came in a silver cardboard-like can. Stuff had a great "body" to it; it didn't break-down when cleaning the tough areas.
I haven't been able to find it for over a year now (discontinued?), and all the substitutes I've tried are, well, not to my liking. I've tried Finish 2000 (like water), Armor-All (same, breaks down too easily, even if I use extra) and a couple others. So,
1. First, can anyone in other parts of the country still find the DuPont powder?
2. Any recommendations for a substitute?
Thanks to everyone for their input/advice!

Have you tried searching the web to see if its available online?
How about trying to contact Dupont directly - Matbe they can point you to an outlet that carries it.....
Just a couple of thoughts - hope it helps.

Gary,
Thanks for your comments.

Did I ever. I was shocked at how little information I was able to find, and I'm pretty good with Google.

DuPont is a HUGE company, with a terrible website (at least for a company of their stature). Not only couldn't I find any reference to the stuff there, I couldn't even find a dang CONTACT to ask someone! So, I figured I would try this route.
Just a couple of thoughts - hope it helps.
Again, thanks. I'm hoping there may still be few cans for sale in some other states, and maybe I can get someone to buy me a couple and ship 'em to me. Or, if someone can tell me of an equivalent, that would fly, too.
