Sorry for making an off-topic post, but there's so much hands-on know-
how in this group, I know somebody here has had to find the right
product.
Is there a good car-wash product that can be used to wash a car, but
still leave the wax on?
I'm waxing a newly compounded car and would like the wax to last.
Does washing the car with regular dish detergent remove wax?
I browsed through an auto parts store, but surprisingly, it was no
help.

Any good car wash product will work. Avoid the dishwashing liquid.
Eventually the wax will be gone anyway, but it does last longer with the
right soap.

No, not a shamwow, a micro fiber towel. You find them at Sam's Club at
about $12 for 25 towels. Typically 2 or 3 towels will completely dry my
Tundra with out having to wring them out

Yes. But only because it is way too strong. One teaspoon of Joy
non-concentrated stuff per 5 gal of water is what we used in the auto
detailing industry to preserve the wax...

I am a big fan of the turtle wax car wash. It has a wax component to
it that really makes for a great shine. I always wipe the vehicle
down with a synthetic cloth I bought for about $10 at Wal Mart. I get
lots of compliments...

And dish detergent eats the wax off quickly.
MeGuiars has a good wax wash. I think Mothers does too, and Turtle's
wax-wash is pretty decent.

Why use soap at all? 99% of the time I use a hose connected to a brush and
wand and no soap. I only soap the wheels. Than I use a micro fiber towel
to dry the vehicle., No spots.
