    Is it true Dawn removes oils from the pain?

    I heard from several websites, and that one show on Speed Channel that using dawn soap to wash a car is bad, b/c it removes important oils. I only want to use Dawn once, to strip the wax for the Zainos I'm waiting to put on. I have 3M wax remover, should I just use this?
