I use a Meguiar's product in a pink jug I got from Autozone. Dish soap is good and bad. Good because it strips the wax and gunk off your car. But bad because it strips the wax off your car and can harm your paint. It's okay to use like once a year, but only if you're gonna wax it again right afterward. That's just my opinion, and I'm no professional at all, so if someone can tell me that I'm doing it wrong please let me know.
