Default What is the best way to remove...

wax from rock chip areas after waxing? I now have white spots where the rock chips are. Doesn't look very good on Nogaro.

Default DON'T USE DISH LIQUID. It will ruin your paint

Use a pre-wax cleaner (i.e., a polish) which by default will improve your shine and will remove all existing wax from your car. It's made for automotive finishes, and won't hurt the paint.

Try P21S Gloss Enhancing Paintwork Cleanser, or Meguiars Medallion Paint Cleanser for All Paint.

Default Not necessarily true.

It's unlikely that diswashing soap would directly ruin a paint job. It is quite adept at stripping off any wax, which in turn exposes your paint to the elements.

I wash my car with Dawn when I'm doing a pre-waxing wash -- make sure I am starting with a nice, fresh base.

Default Old toothbrush

It's what we used when I was detailing cars long ago...

Just make sure it's a soft one. And don't try to brush your teeth with it afterwards!

Default After I wash with Dawn I go over it with Pre Kleano before I polish or wax
