Generally speaking, anything other than specifically formulated car wash soaps are designed to strip off everything - including wax - so aren't a great idea for use on cars. If you don't have any wax on your car it's not a problem though :)

Pressure wash at your own risk. Anyone seen the clear 3M film that supposedly protects the paint for headlights and dower body panels? Available for the Yaris? I think it would be a good idea.

Wait a minute... baby shampoo is some of the weakest/gentlest soap on the market. Harsh soaps strip wax, but baby shampoo should leave the wax in place for the most part. They don't want it to wash the skin oils from the baby to make their skin chapped. Also tear-free must be quite gently. I think it will work like a champ.

Now GoJo, on the other hand, would not be a good car wash ...
