I think any detergent-based product designed for use on the skin
or head works reasonably well. The "Joy" product is OK, I have
also heard that most of the "Body Shop" shampoo/shower gels are
OK (but they are expensive).

The big problem with Joy or other dish soaps is that it will all but peel
the skin off of anyone with sensitive skin and leave anyone with less
than *very* oily hair with dried out hair after just a few washings.
(no offence to anyone who likes it, one washing in Joy and Pat is just
about skinless ;-(

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

Cheers,

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...

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...

Dawn may remove wax. Is what body shops use to remove any silicone on the
surface.

If I'm going to wax, I'll use Dawn to help get rid of the old stuff. If not, then I'll use Murphy's
Oil Soap, which is gentle. It's also recommended for cleaning the rubber roof on RVs.

I didn’t know that. Something else to investigate...
