| | | Dawn is used by some for an initial wash to remove wax. However I do not recommend this. There are other products made for car paint finishes that will do the same thing. Leave the Dawn in the sink! |

I know Zaino said to use Dawn before using their products.

| | | P21s makes a paint cleanser. Try that or even Meguiar's APC+ with a 400 to 1 dilution ratio. Solvent is a no no unless you use something like Meguiar's Body solvent to remove tar and such. Try claying your vehicle, it will remove the wax as well and clean the paint from contaminants. |
