all car soaps can strip wax if you use too much of it But if you use the soap according to the directions there really isnt a problem with stripping wax. I belive it says 1 oz per gal of water, however for my car which doesnt get too dirty i use 1 oz per 2 or so gallons and still get plenty of lube and suds!

Here's what the copy for this product says,

NXT Generation Car Wash



Our expertise in Engineered Synthetic Polymers (ESP) has created a completely synthetic car wash concentrate that loosens and emulsifies even the toughest dirt and road grime while synthetic lubricating oils glide them off the surface without marring the finish. This cutting edge formula is gentle on all painted finishes as well as rubber, vinyl and plastic components. Meguiar's NXT Generation Car Wash leaves an eye-dazzling finish by itself or prepares your finish for application of Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax. Engineered water softener helps reduce deposits in hard water, leaving behind a spot-free finish.

****************


Meguiar's waxes and paint protectants are detergent resistant, but our polishes are not. So to answer your question specifically, NXT Car Wash will not strip or remove waxes or sealants, but will have a tendency to remove polishes because water by itself will tend to remove polish as will any company's car wash and especially detergent soaps like dish soap.

That's why Meguiar's always recommends that you apply a coating or two of wax over the top of your polish. This will act to lock or seal it in.

Does that help?

I remember the thread, but I don't remember the consensus.

I like to use warm/hot water when washing....
I figured it would help in dissolving the bugs and other stuff.
Please let me know if this is ok????

I do like to use hot water to wash.. but i don`t believe if you wash with hot water that the wax is completely removed. Once i started with a wax job with Gold class wax and it started to rain a little... so i quickly started to buff out the area i just waxed.. but i noticed that the water was working against me.. so the wax and the water was hard to remove. So if this occurs then on the other hand i believe this works on the other side the same. isn't water beading the same? all cars in the neighborhood are dry after a rainy day.. but ours you see always those water drops all over the car because they don`t get a grip on the surface.
