Dishwashing liquid is designed to "cut grease" but it really "cuts wax"
which is not what we want. We want to keep the wax on our car to protect
the paint. Once the wax is stripped, you car just bakes in the sun-bad
for the paint.

I know it's cheap and looks good at first, but it is way to harsh for our
thin wax jobs. The only time to use dishwashing liquid is when you are
washing it to prep for paint. Then you have to wash it wish paint prep,
etc.

Hope I have helped. If you have used dishwashing liquid, quickly put a new
wax job on so you don't lose your paint job. Hope I helped!
