Nolan,
What a wonderful idea!
I have always found Murphy's Oil Soap a wonderful cleaner for wood products
but would never had thought to use it on a car's exterior.You should think
about writing a Dear Heloise column on using mundane things in interesting
ways. Congrats!

My Spifire is a bit faded. The paint is far from optimal. While trying to
clean/restore/improve
the paint I kept getting it worse and worse. Old dry paint sucks up
everything. Giving it that
oh so pretty streaky gunky look. The more things I pulled out of my car
care arsonal, the
worse it was looking.
Then I had an idea (hey, it happens sometimes). Murphy's Oil Soap. The
stuff works great on
wood floors. It claims to have oils and such in it... Put two and two
together, get fifteen, and
go was the car. Hey! This got all the stuff out of the paint! The areas I
did wash are looking
good. The soaked in waxes and such are all gone. The oils in the soap
really do seem to have
soaked into the paint, and done a nice job of revitalizing them. It's been
a couple of days now,
and I don't see any problems so far. As I've pondered on this, it seems
like a pretty reasonable
result, and probably a good notion to use Murphys Oil Soap to was faded old
cars with.
