I never have and never will use dish soap. Something about it being formulated for dishware doesnt make me want to try it on paint.

I started working for a Maserati Dealership about 5months back and we use touch of class. IDK exactly everything about it but it works. Weve used it on Lamborghinis, Jaguars, Maseratis, Range Rovers, Lotus, Ferraris etc and we havent had any problems with it only our work environment.

Never say never! I've used it for years and my cars all look great. Just consider that you'd want to use a slightly stronger solution before you protect your paint with wax so you don't lock in those impurities.

It may cost more... It may cost more... It DOES cost more, but as long as you're taking the time to take care of your car I won't bust your balls. Great looking sigpic btw.

Once a month is plenty unless you drive in terribly harsh weather or use automatic carwashes. I couldn't imagine doing clay every month, I use the mack daddy random orbital and that's it.
