So this will sound weird, but I have not washed my car since painting it =
5 years ago. I  had not really been driven. I have put about 15 hours on =
it since the end of Nov and my lower rear wings have road dreck and the =
rest of the car is dirty. Not trying to ask the best oil question here, =
but I guess its pretty close. What should I use to clean my car with?

Thanks all
