General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I wonder how car cleaner got to be called shampoo, after all, the word comes from Sanskrit, and we imported the term from India, meaning to massage/knead/press. Fine slivers of soft soap was the preferred material prior to availability of the product with which we are now familiar.

You can see how that applies to washing hair, but car washing? We don't talk about shampooing windows do we, I reckon the wiping action is fairly similar to hand washing the car.

Is it just all part of inducing people to be willing to part with their cash?
