I presume you mean for washing one's body/hair in salt water.Â*
I think any detergent-based product designed for use on the skinÂ*

also heard that most of the "Body Shop" shampoo/shower gels areÂ*
OK (but they are expensive).Â*
Â*
The big problem with Joy or other dish soaps is that it will all but peelÂ*
the skin off of anyone with sensitive skin and leave anyone with lessÂ*

than *very* oily hair with dried out hair after just a few washings.Â*
(no offence to anyone who likes it, one washing in Joy and Pat is justÂ*

The Sea Savon salt water soap that used to be distributed by Davis wasÂ*
absolutely *great*, clean hair and skin, without any damage to either,Â*
but they seem to have switched to a brand called Aqua Lather that is notÂ*
nearly as good, it's mild but does not seem to leave that *clean* feelingÂ*
as well (we wrote them and asked for a source of the old stuff a fewÂ*
months ago, but they have not responded)Â*

"I. The mid-west I don’t have much contact with brine. I’ve found that Ajax dish soap is a great in-general cleanser. I liked to wash my boats and pontoon with it. Granted, I use well water, but the stuff lathers for quite a while. Besides, it’s cheap...Â*

Wonder if that dish soap would have any effect on previously applied boat wax?

Now that, I don't know. I DO know that it was the best I'd found for cleaning my pontoon. I'd tried all the 'super ' 'industrial strength' stuff and they didn't have pleasing results. concerning previous wax? ehhhh, I doubt if it'd strip it...
