Good soap to strip off wax

[SUPR3M3]

I'm new to detailing. I've tried researching but never found a straight answer.I have heard some people using dawn haven't tried it my self. Is that safe? Do any if you guys know of a better option? Thanks in advanced

CG Wash & Gloss is my favorite, the price is decent and it'll last you ages.

I have been using CG Citrus Wash & Clear -or- CG Citrus Wash & Gloss with the addition of some APC to add in the stripping process.

Another one to look at is the P21S Total Auto Wash, then follow up with a clay bar and BLACKFIRE Clay Lubricant to have it ready for whatever you plan to do.

Chemical Guy's Citrus Wash & Gloss has been used (in strong dilutions) to strip wax with success for a lot of people.

I like the idea of using a paint safe cleaner like Angelo suggested. P21s Total Auto Wash is a great choice as well.

Here is a great article written by Todd that relates to your question.

agree with everyone on the cg wash and gloss but i always add apc to help it. dawn is pretty strong too and certainly cheaper.

I use Chemical Guys Wash N Gloss or Dawn. Both work fine for me.

If you want to strip the old wax off, washing is one part, for me either a clay bar or paint cleaner is what I do. I know that either of these processes will take 100% of the wax off.

Dawn works to an extent but as far as soap go by the advise above. Another alternative is GG paint prep found here Griot's Garage Paint Prep 35 oz. would be another choice. I have bought a bottle but have yet to use it. Before I did my winter prep about 6 weeks ago I washed with Dawn, that got some of it off. I clayed the car that got some more of it off. I polished the car and followed up with GG pre-wax cleaner found here Griot's Garage Pre-Wax Cleaner and that pretty much took care of all the wax. Come spring I will use the paint prep to see how it works.
