washing question
i plan on washing/ polishing/ and waxing the truck today. first wax of the year. anyways i would NEVER do this unless i was waxing the truck right after but has anyone ever used dish soap to wash a car. i heard that it takes off the old wax but that you need to apply the wax right after. should i do this or just stick to regular car wash soap? thx

you can do it, and its an effective way to remove old wax. However, it will also dry out your trim and seals. In addition, if this is your 'first wax of the year' I'm doubting there is much wax on your paint at this point anyway. One last point, if you are going to be doing any defect removal via polishing the abrasives in your polish will remove and wax previously on the paint.

just use a car wash soap , unless u eat off ur truck dont use dish. I suggest everyone on the site that reads this, go to meguiars site and fill out there RX section and see what it says for care.
