I've read several threads and posts describing how Dawn (or whatever dish detergent) has trouble or is ineffective at removing a lot of waxes.

One that sticks out in my mind is Megs #26. People said it was not capapble of stripping that. Also most sealants seem resistant or impervious (Klasse, Zaino) to it.

I think with all the "blending" of carnauba and synthetic waxes that goes on with many waxes these days (#26 for instance), I think attempting a Dawn wash to strip something is a hit-and-miss thing to do. The only time I can see it having value is in prepping a car in bad need of an overhaul.
