Agreed (do not use dish soap unless you want to remove wax and possibly damage 
the paint!). I think the most important thing is to use soft water--if your 
local supply is hard, you'll need a softener--else you'll likely get spotting. 

Oh, and do not wash your car in Flint, MI.

As long as it's decent car wash, you should be in good shape. Honestly the 
modern paints are so bullet proof it's hard to mess them up.

So this will sound weird, but I have not washed my car since painting it 5 
years ago. I had not really been driven. I have put about 15 hours on it since 
the end of Nov and my lower rear wings have road dreck and the rest of the car 
is dirty. Not trying to ask the best oil question here, but I guess its pretty 
close. What should I use to clean my car with?
