I'm going to be washing and waxing my car tommorow with my new Cherry Wet Wax (should look great!) I need to know what to use for pre-wash, to strip the previous wax and such. I think it's Dawn Dishsoap...but what specific kind, does it matter?

 

Dawn Dishsoap is what you want. It's a liquid. Recommended by many...
Use lots of it in a bucket of fairly (not hot) warm water.

 

Did you get the Cherry Wet Wax from Rick at Coats Products? That's where I got mine and I also bought their wash and wax car wash concentrate and I like it too. It works great, and it smells like bubble gum. I would definately recommend it. I have been very happy with everything I have gotten from Coats Products.

yeah I got it from Rick at Coats products...along with a couple of their microfiber towels, a wax applicator or two, some of their car wash, and also their Miracle Mist which I hear is incredible. I'll definetly post some pics tommorow after I'm done with it. BTW, My truck is black, and I;ve heard Cherry Wet Wax does wonders on dark colors. We'll see soon enough...

 

Just make sure you don't even come close to the plastic trim with CWW.

I would make sure the towels you use are 100% cotton, made in the USA. And don't use a sponge to wash it. Cut up a towel and use that.

Good luck.

 

Yeah... I wish it had a warning on the bottle or something... It came off easy enough, though...

 

I figured that with a name like ShadowLightning you would have a DSG. hehe

 

Yeah, I'll steer clear of the plastic trim. I NEVER use a sponge to wash my car, always a towel, so that shouldn't be a problem. We'll see how it goes. BTW, customer service from Coats products was great, and they have some good deals. I highly recommend them for car detailing supplies
