There are some people out there who use this technique...search www.autopia.org for it.
I haven't tried it, because I am satisfied with my car wash soap.

I remember seeing my dad using shampoo to wash his truck with. Seemed to work fine. It acts as a lubricant so it won't scratch or anything. I doubt that it would strip wax either since obviously its pretty gentle if you use it in your hair. I use Meguiars on my TA though.

Don't do it! Shampoos-what ever brand all have a chemical that is used to get rid of grease. ANY shampoo will clean a car good enough, but will strip any wax that is there.
Take a beautifully waxed car and shampoo it, dry it, then drive around for a day. You will SEE
the negative effects when you see the car in the sunlight.

Washing 11 year old paint after winter sludge has been baked on, of course the shampoo made it look good. Good to you is different from someone else's good. My car is a garage
queen that is NEVER driven in rain, and the paint has been wet sanded and polished to a show shine.
I won't put shampoo on mine and say it looks good-never.
