the only time you should use dish soap is when you want to strip off all the old wax on your car.
Actually, avoid it even then. The detergents in dish soap are quite effective at stripping wax, and the oils that are part of your paint. A large part of what a non-abrasive polish does is ensure there are enough oils in your paint -- stripping them out unnecessarily is not good for paint longevity.
Best safe wax removal is a clay bar, or a paint cleaner.
