I use armor all ultra shine. You dilute it with water. A little goes a long way.

Do you have a power washer?
If so check out something called a foam cannon.
It turns your power washer into a device that coats the car in a thick soapy coating. Its great

You can use dish detergent as hubby has done that in the past.

YIKES!!! NO!!!
Dish detergent will take off the protective wax on the car.
If you're planning on taking off all the wax and rewaxing, then it's OK, but not as a routine washing.

Agree- dish detergent is not good for the finish.
Any car wash from Target or the Auto Store is fine.
