[Healeys] washing my car

[Richard Collins]

At a major car show at Monterey recently I asked one of the sales guys at one of the big manufacturer/marketers about this waterless cleaner stuff. He basically stated it should be obvious to start with a clean car first before using it.
Hence, caveat emptor.
Additionally, I have been advised to not use dish soap on cars but rather stick with soap specific for cars.
I am not a detailer but tend to think the advice is good.

owned the car 41 years, never had paint on it until 5 years ago. I run my family cars through the $5.00 car wash, not an option for my car. I have read a bunch of articles and watched a bunch of youtube videos.
I have seen waterless quick detailers that I worry about scratching the paint. So like many seemingly annoying questions from me or others, one can delete, groan or offer advice.

So this will sound weird, but I have not washed my car since painting it 5 years ago. I  had not really been driven. I have put about 15 hours on it since the end of Nov and my lower rear wings have road dreck and the rest of the car is dirty. Not trying to ask the best oil question here, but I guess its pretty close. What should I use to clean my car with?
Thanks all
