Have you ever seen those cars with the funky discolored streaks down the side of the qtr panel just below the gas cap?
It is there for a reason, gas.
It is not the ideal solution for cleaning your car. Perhaps if you washed it right after or you keep a very thick coat of wax/sealant then I can see it not diminishing the clear coat as quickly but eventually it will happen if you don't take care of it. I am happy you are always washing your car.
