Can I use dish soap to clean the car interior?
You know a dishwashing liquid is formulated to strip away grime and crap from the dish and clean them. Obviously, you don’t eat off dirty dishes. You can apply the same logic while applying in the car. Using the dishwashing liquid, you can wipe away all the dirt and grime from the car.
