How you wash and detail the car depends too on how you drive it and how much time you have. A DD needs to be treated differently then a weekend summer car. Also, where you live matters too. So, no one should be giving advice on what products to use w/o at least asking those questions.

As far as dish soap, people like it because your car won't spot. It has wetting agents that work terrific. It also removes oils and greases and .....wax.

If your car is really full of grease and lots of other crap, then using dish soap is probably not a bad idea. But, you won't find anyone with an exotic using it that is for sure.

Also, clay bars are nice, but they only need to be used once in a blue moon. They are abrassive. They are supposed to be, but they are not for regular use. The kit may say so, but that is because they want to sell lots of them.

I had a car that I used to put 6,000 miles a month on it. I put 4k on my Mustang in an entire year. What you do with the one is way different then the other. My mustang gets waxed twice a year....and that is probably too much.
