I've also heard of people washing their pads with dawn, i think that is why many of them are seeing the adhesive dissolve and their pads separating prematurely. I wash my pads in hot water and car wash soap. I think dawn should stay in the kitchen.

I totally agree, I would never do it, and have never done so. But I'm reading around here and autopia and keep seeing people talking about using Dawn dish soap to clean off wax from pads etc...

NEVER USE DISH SOAP FOR WASHING YOUR CAR!!!!!

you don't use gear oil to wash your hair with??

the degreasing elements in dish soap will harm your paint finish on the long run!

To be honest, i wouldn't use dawn or any other dish soap to remove wax, you would be better to use clay and cause less damage to your surface. Dish detergents tend to dry out the paint.

Hi all. I was wondering... everyone suggests the use of Dawn dish soap for removing wax etc... why Dawn specifically? why not Sunlight or Palmolive etc? any reason?

Thanks,
