Thing is, most soaps and detergents remove wax quite well, as wax is closely related to soap and grease. Once you've washed it, and have a good coat of wax on it, you can use a mild detergent, usually called (ta-da!) Car Wash, found next to the wax wherever you shop.

Couple of my friends use stuff from Griot's Gararge <http://www.griotsgarage.com/category/car+care.do?nType=1> For them, it's the holy grail - finally, sombody as nuts for a shiny car as they are! For the rest of us, steal an idea or 2 (Like the strainer in the wash bucket to let the dirt fall through!) and see how the other half lives.
