Rep Power: 0 Just use some dishwashing liquid soap and water from the hose like normal. Never heard of using amonia, I don't think that would be a good idea. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Where I work, we use 3M remove all. It strips the wax right off. You can also use a Body Prep solution. I recomend you wash the car after though. Hope this helps someone.

Rep Power: 0 To strip the wax off just use the dawn dishwashing soap. I have been using this wax that my pops has using on his S2000 and it is the easiest and best wax I have ever used! I say wax but it is really a polish here is the link . The polish last a long time and it only took me an hour to do! ZainoBros Polish

Rep Power: 0 don't use water that is too hot otherwise it will hurt you car, especially if it is cold outside. Can warp wheels, cause problems in paint, brake probs, just not a good idea. Stick with good old fashio soap and water.
