I've always used Meguiars Gold class to wash, I've been told that dish washing soap actually strips the car of the waxes/polishes.

My procedure to clean:

Wet Sand if Needed

Meguiars Gold Class wash

Meguiars #2 Fine Cut Cleaner

Meguiars #7 Show car glaze or #3 Professional Machine Glaze (3 coats)

Meguiars #26 Hi-Tech Liquid Wax (2 coats)

It's been a looong time since I've done this procedure, I wonder if I remember all the techniques and gentle touch to even attempt the whole thing. I just used a standard drill and attachment with wool pads. Never burned the paint and had amazing results.

This is very true. When I used to detail cars, I would wash wish dish soap after I called a car--just to make absolutely positively sure that all the gunk was off.

You really don't want to use dish soap on your car unless you wax every time you wash!
