Dish soup is a method of stripping wax, and IMHO it works just fine. Infact there are polishes out there that would damage the paint faster than any dish soap would......

I beleieve the O.G topic here was elmacho starting from scratch with his vehicles paint. So "elmacho" what you should do is rewash you car/truck with NXT or PB's car wash. Then hit it with the clay bar. I would use the two bucket method as lube. Soapy water in one and clean water in the other(DI) that is. Hard water is for the birds. Next you should choose a good polish. I recomend Color "X" or PB's Polish. After that its up to you, sealer under carnuba, or sealer alone. EX-P under Natty's, or #21 under #26 paste. I know for a fact that either of these combo's work great over a properly preped surface.

Ofcorse the "PH" balanced water would make all the differece in the world........ NOT!
