Default I do it twice a year (spring and fall) to strip old wax, etc.

Then follow with clay, paint cleaner, polish, and wax (Blitz in the spring and Eagle One Nanowax in the fall).

Default Washing your car with dish soap is not a requirement and not everyone does it...

stripping off the old layers of wax prior to re-applying new coats is.

There are products on the market specificaly designed for this procedure.

Only use dawn if you're going to re-wax, it strips the wax off pretty good.
