Does Dish Soap Really Strip wax?

[Bill1234]

I had read countless answers from both sides to this and really I feel if it cant dissolve your skin and it takes scrubbing to remove grease on plates and things, why could it dissolve or strip wax?

I am not a chemist and maybe some are here but what is your idea?

Ill let others chime in but basically some ding dong was arguing me over at another site making so many claims it does and that its like kitchen grease removal. It seems like only claying and polishing will

The review in the video was not mine, but my question was based on experiences with others

Thank you for posting the video showing what I always had a doubt with, and that's DAWN (or dish soap) will strip a quality paint sealant.

Show him that video. He also has another video where he demonstrates the new Meguiar's wash plus which contains microabrasives. It's the fusso wax video.

The video may seem like there is still protection, and this is where the argument that it does not and it does come into play.

If you have a contaminant free surface, that has been freshly polished it will bead and sheet water.

You can wash, clay, polish a car and spray a hose on it and it will bead and sheet water.

So nobody surely knows, if it indeed did strip the wax/sealant or it is just the bare surface paint that is offering the hydrophobic surface.

I did some polishing and two test spots with two different AIOs on the hood of my farm truck.

I would periodically check it with a strong dawn wash. It was obviously where the one AIO was applied after the wash then spraying it with water. Nice beading where the AIO was used, and flat everywhere else.


One issue I see with that test was that they where both sealants. Although I doubt it will strip a wax.

Here's a long thread discussing LSP Stripping. Pay particular attention to the posts by PiPUK.
