This will be the only time you should ever use dishwashing soap since it will strip sealants as well as wax.

Thanks..

Most QD will state they have wax right? I assume if it just says QD..it does not have wax on it. I have never read ingridents in the QD. Just how to use.

So..you mention polish which no one else has. Polish with what? Your suggestions? Is it absolutely necessary? After polish would you QD the car then seal?
