If you do use dish soap, make sure to polish the car afterwards and not just wax it.
Dish soap is good at breaking down wax, but those same properties mean it strips the oils out of your paint that keep it looking fresh and new. A polish restores those oils, where a wax is a sealant. Polish = looks. Wax = preserving polish's effects. |
