Can I Wash My Car With Dawn Dish Detergent

Dish Soap Can Remove Wax, But It's Not A Car Wash Soap

As mentioned above, you'll surely remove wax when you put dish soap on your car, especially if you do so on a frequent basis. This would be your goal if you want to strip the surface bare to work on buffing out scratches or claying your vehicle - in fact, you can't do such things if you don't have a bare surface on which to work.

Dish soap or laundry detergent definitely shouldn't be used as a replacement for car soap. If you've got a quality car soap, it won't strip away wax. You'll want to do your research to make sure that the product you buy is appropriate for the purpose you have in mind.

Ceramic Car Wash from Torque Detail is amazing for auto enthusiasts and an ideal product to have at home as part of your routine cleaning repertoire. It won't remove car wax - in fact, it will add a protective coating to your car. This high-lubricity formula contains ceramic to provide that extra protection, and it's pH balanced to make it harsh on contaminants while at the same time being soft on your car. Your paint job will look nice and refreshed afterwards.

Are you looking for something that will remove wax while also serving as a high-quality car soap? Torque Detail's Decon Car Soap is a good choice in this respect. It's more effective than a dish soap at taking wax off, removing grime, bird dropping, bug guts, tar, and is ideal for decontamination purposes.

What To Do Next: Applying A Wax

The Hybrid Car Wax & Sealer You've Always Wanted.

★★★★★ "Saw this being promoted on a big YouTube channel and thought why not try it. Was a bit skeptical but WOW. Super easy to apply and car is shining. Water still pelts off 3 weeks later! Gonna ditch the wax and will continue to use." - Josh S.

What You'll Need:

Step 1.) Give it a good wash

This is another one of those tasks you don't do to your vehicle before you wash it. In fact, this is a good general rule of thumb when applying anything new to your car or getting out scratches so that you're able to see exactly what you're doing, without any dirt and debris getting in the way. Make sure it's properly rinsed before you go any further.

Step 2.) Prepare your applicator pad

Next, put a little bit of Mirror Shine on a panel of your vehicle. Start with a little and increase as needed.

Step 3.) Work it in

Work this into the paint using a cross-hatch or circular pattern. Don't repeat the same pass more than twice, and always work in smaller areas at a time.

Step 4.) Removal of excess

Once you see that the product is sweating on the paint (or after about 45 seconds), take the clean microfiber towel and remove the ceramic, as it's now done its job. Use an LED light in order to ensure there's no residue left over.

Conduct this same process with your chrome, headlights, rims, and plastics. The ceramic can also be used on glass.
