I have put down Klasse sealant and meguiars gold class wax and I'll be using pinnacle waterless wash to keep it up in the winter.

My question is, what do I or should I do when it comes times for a pull water wash when it warms up.
Do I need to use a polish to remove the wax and sealant or is a hand wash with a strong soap like dawn dish soap good enough before is put down more Klasse sealant?

Ditch the Dawn, it's old school urban legend stuff. Just use any paint cleaner / prep and you're good to go.

After using a WW all Winter; and once
you're done with the full water wash...
There probably won't be any Wax, and very
little of the Sealant, left on the vehicle.

Next, (Before I'd decide to polish), I'd:
-inspect the paint with a "swirl finder"
light source
-perform "The Baggie Test"

If you then deem the paint is in
satisfactory condition...
-Apply a layer of the Sealant.
-Take the vehicle for a spin
__________________________________

•Note:
After inspection/baggie test; and the
paint happens to not be satisfactory...
The following steps may be required:
-Claying;
-doing a "Test Spot";
-polishing step(s);
-applying the Sealant.
