palmolive or any other dish soap...its like acid to wax but doesnt harm your paint...
just wash the car with palmolive and then wash it with what you usually wash it with (magurires, eagle one etc) and itll come right off

Does normal car wash take wax off? Im using coral blue car wash and some kinda meguires wax, the meguires had #26 on the bottle. Leaves one heck of a shine and the water just beads on the car, love this stuff.

well in answer to your question...in time normal products will take wax off..but with dish soap..its instanious.
and some of the washes on the market now (like the maguires i use) have some "waxing agents" in them..so thats what makes it bead...

. oh
my bad..yeah that number 26 on the bottle is for customers to know what product it works well with...
i think (if i remember correctly) that that is one of the "3stage polishing" #25is paint cleaner #26 is the wax #27 is the polish..
but i could be wrong...what colour is the bottle for the wax...a yellowy bottle with a red "label"?

Guys I think he's asking how to buff off the wax after its dried to a haze
I personally use Microfiber towels, you can pick them up at Autozone or any other parts store. They leave no fine scratches and work GREAT.

dont worry man...it still works amazingly by itself..but you dont see its true value until you use it in the 3stage process it was designed for.

Just picked up the whole shabang on my lunch break. Gonna get my cousin to help me do this, washing your car in 100+ degree weather is not easy by yourself when you try to keep it wet.

If I use dish soap it will remove all of the wax on the car??? Then there will be no wax on the car and i can use something better, correct?? Just curious cause I bought the car a year ago and dont know what the previos owner used. I dont want to keep changing waxes and harm the finish

yes...dish soap does remove wax (i dont know why, i think it has something to do with the additives to take off food particles or something) and if you mix and match waxes..its not neccessarily a bad thing, just some products work better then others on certain cars/vehicles and or the persons likes or dislikes, you just need to find something you like and stick with it..

LOL, down here in laredo, you get 8 months of summer and 4 months of fall and thats it, there ain't no in betweens.
BTW, we just got done, I was sweating like a pig, that paint cleaner (step #1) was hard as hell to rub off. After that it went pretty quick. Total was about 4 hours doing his 00 Trans am and my Camaro. I can't judge the shine yet because its too dark to really see. I'll let ya know how it goes tomorrow.
