[QUOTE="Mach1USMC, post: 15533078, member: 42788"] - not all clay bars are the same. They vary depending on your needs. Additionally the more aggressive the clay the more likely it will "mar" your paint. So keep that n mind when you clay. As far as dish soap goes. IF it were the only option to completely remove wax from your vehicle so you can start over I'd be an advocate. But because I deal with customers cars and not my own, and because there are many VERY good soaps out there that are as good or better than Dawn that won't also dry out your trim and moldings, I stay away from dish soap unless I'm actually doing dishes. As far as what "brand" of product to use, you will get a TON of opinions. I use the Mike Philips philisophy. Find what works for you and use it. Some say Adams, some say Meguiars, etc etc. - just try a few products and see what works best for you. My personal rule is I usually stay away from store bought waxes and dressings. Most off the shelf waxes are cleaner waxes and have lots of fillers in them- they give you the illusion that your paint is good, until it rains. Then it looks like crap again. [/QUOTE]
