Rep Power: 396 I dont know why you guys keep telling people to use dish soap on your car. Dish soap is one of the worse things you could put on your paint. You do not have to remove old wax on your car everytime you re wax the car. If you want to clean the paint before waxing it then clay bar the entire car. This will clean the paint and not cause the paint to get Dull which can happen if you keep using dish soap on the car. There is a reason that Palmolive is called Dish Soap. The reason is because Palmolive is made for dishes and Car soap is made for cars. If you want to remove the residue try the clay bar and re wax it with a quality wax....like Gliptone Creme wax, or Meguires Gold wax, or Mothers Gold wax.

Rep Power: 0 i used to use zymol but then I swithed to liquid glass. There is a liquid glass pre-cleaner and a wax. Its a pain to have to go over the car so many times but the finished product is nice

Rep Power: 396 The detailing shop I worked at used Auto Magic products. Which wax did you use? Auto Magic is a company, not a wax. If you want to wax your car and you dont want to spend that much on ZYMOL, then go with Meguires Gold, or Mothers Gold, Or Gliptone Creme, or Kit wax. You will get a great shine out of these products.
