Here are some recipes I found on a web site:
car soap
1/4 cup vegetable oil-based liquid soap
warm water
mix ingredients in pail. Wash car on lawn instead of the drive to reduce runoff to the street or storm sewer.
car wax
1 cup linseed oil
4 tbsp. carnauba wax (available at auto supply stores)
2 tbsp. beeswax
1/2 cup vinegar
put ingredients in top half of a double-boiler or saucepan. Heat slowly until wax has melted. Stir and pour into a heat resistant container. After wax has solidified, rub it on the car with a lint-free cloth. Saturate a corner of a cotton rag with vinegar and polish the wax to a deep shine.
vinyl Cleaner
1/4 cup washing soda
1 cup boiling water (sodium carbonate)
dissolve washing soda in boiling water. Apply with sponge and wipe off with a damp cloth.
lol, I think these are supposed to be "river friendly" or environmentally friendly that is. The web site I found them from is this:

so who is going to try these out first and write up a review?
