Second vote for this one....too much salt.

Don't use washing up liquid! You're better off just using warm water.

Washing up liquids are slightly caustic, Wilko's do a good budget range of car cleaning stuff.

I just love the idea that washing up liquid will do more damage to a car than a commercial car wash. The reason why you shouldn't use washing up liquid is because IT WON'T break down heavy soiling.

Car wash detergents are designed specifically to break down traffic film, mostly diesel residue. They remove oils, waxes in a way that washing up liquid won't

Washing up liquid is by necessity relatively safe for contact with human skin. It is hardly likely to be capable of disolving your car or its paint.
