Whoa! You used Dawn dish soap on your lacquer paint job? That'a the kind of stuff that high school students use in their money-raising car washes!

Best Other does sound like good stuff, though. I do understand why you'd want to use a somewhat more heavy duty cleaner to get off multiple coats of wax. My car has a good paint job and plenty of wax on it too. The only thing I do with it now is wash it with McGuire's and use McGuire's Quick Detailer afterward. It's just a simply spray on that I rub in with a cloth-covered applicator, then buff out a couple of minutes later. I don't think it builds up much.

Randy, I think I might try your method sometime in the near future. I am pretty sure my paint is acrylic enamel. I know there is no clear coat. I don't know if acrylic lacquer in a product would work for my paint job. I tried to find Best Other via Google and came up blank. Zaino's is online (link:http://www.zainostore.com/). Sounds like good stuff.
