No, it isn't.
But clay and machine polishing will remove wax. :xyxthumbs:
I use a “coating prep soap”. Which i feel remove sealants and waxes very well, atleast on my coated car.
It an Alkaline soap. I snow foam, let dwell, rinse then bucket wash... then wash again. All with the prep soap. Does a good job of removing and or breaking down...

I don’t believe that Proctor & Gamble (P&G)
manufactures a dishwasher detergent under
the Dawn product-line umbrella.
But, if I’m not mistaken, in an emergency situation:
I believe that a person can use a couple drops of
Dawn dishwashing detergent—combined with some
baking soda—in the dishwasher’s “soap dispenser”,
and have sparkling clean dishes as a result thereof.
•As alluded to above, Dawn is a product of
Procter & Gamble (P&G).
-P&G has this to say about using
it to wash cars:
”Your car surface and the dirt that gets on it
are a lot different from the food soils and dishes
that dishwashing liquids clean effectively.
We don't recommend them for cleaning your car.”
****************************************
•Due to the above P&G information:
-I don’t ever use Dawn, or similar dishwashing
liquids, to wash my vehicles.
-Likewise: I will not recommend that you
use Dawn for car-washing purposes.
Editorial:
Q. If it would actually be fine and well to wash
cars with Dawn, then why wouldn't P&G say
to go ahead and use it for that purpose?
IMO:
-Hugely successful companies, such as P&G,
don’t become that way by turning away revenue.

With so many CAR washing/shampoo products out there, why would one even consider something like Dawn?
^^^ : i dunno: ‘bout that. ^^^^
•But I do know that for cleaning any
“Flying Saucer” wheel covers...
-I use “Alien Kleen”.
*************************************
•You may ask:
-‘Hey Bob...Why that particular concoction?’
•My answer would be:
-Because, (as Klasse Act would concur):
“it truely cleans out of this world!”

If you want to chemically strip with no abraisives you'll need the following steps.
Acid ( like a water spot remover)
Alkaline( like an APC)
Solvent( like any panel prep)
On that order
100% sure way is still polish though
Here’s an alkaline soap for cheap.

Which wax are you trying to remove? How long since it was applied?
