Default Is this stuff safe to use?

I am about to wash my car and I would like to strip the old wax off. Does anoyone know if "Joy Liquid Dishwashing Soap" is safe to use? Thanks.

use New Dawn - a teaspoon in 3 gal of hot water - wash as normal and RINSE thoroughly. It will strip the wax no problem - along with bug guts, road grime, etc.

Laundry soap will also strip wax (i.e. Tide.) I have not had good luck with 'gentle on your hands' dish soaps for stripping wax and I don't have any Dawn in the house. Laundry soap will do a number on your hands though so wear gloves.
