An old lady bought an bottle of Murphys Oil Soap I was selling at a yard sale. I asked here if she has hard wood floors. She replied " no I wash my car with it". Her car was an old buick and the paint did look shiny from a distance. She also very happily told me that it was the original paint.

funny I ran across this, my dad used to use Murphy's for tons of stuff like washing the chamois pad in bike shorts, tires, leather.



It's a pretty mild soap but I don't think I'd use it as car wash.
 
THe first wax Meguiar's made was for furniture then they discovered it made automobile paint shiny. The rest is history.

IMO using oil/fat/etc.-based furniture products on wood made a lot more sense back when both were finished with natural lacquers. For decades, Meguiar's didn't even offer a wax for cars, just the #7 which was then called "Sealer and Reseal Glaze". IIRC Meguiar's didn't offer an automotive wax until #16 came out in the early 1950s. Meanwhile, people were using Simonize on both cars and furniture (and cussing it for being so hard to buff off).
 
Um hello.... It's murphy's OIL soap. of course it's going to leave a luster and shine. It's oil soap. Made mainly for deep conditioning of wood furniture. But it obviously has other side effects that aren't so bad in other applications.
