Can I use car shampoo to wash my car after waxing?

[kc21]

Hi,
I just polished and waxed my black car 2 days ago. Unfortunately it rained today... can I wash my car with car shapoo now or do I have to wait a week before using shapoo and just use all water to wash now?

Just make sure to use a good car wash and not a detergent like dish washing liquid, i would recommend Gold Class car wash. 2 days is enough time for the polymers in the wax to cure so you are good to go
Just to add something, i would recommend never washing with just water due to not having any type of lubrication. A car wash like GC offers light cleaning ability without removing wax protection along with lubrication to help from applying swirls into the paint finish

Dont wash with just water, use a quality soap as Derrick says.

hi
will washing with water alone remove the NXT tech waxes being applied on earlier?
