Default Best wash to protect wax.

My car was detailed last month and Muddy my detailer finished the job off with Blackfire wet diamond ivory carnauba paste wax.I have now bought some of my own and have added two more coats.Now what is the best wash liquid to use that won't start to strip my wax coat.

this is what it looks like.

All of the shampoo's we stock are gentle and won't strip the wax layers, but my personal favourites are either Poorboy's Slick n Suds or Meguiars Shampoo Plus.

Meguiars shampoo plus rules you need to use very little aswell for loads of suds,can`t recommend it enough-cheap too considering how long it`l last. use it on mine all the time,not even bothered about trying anything else im that happy with it.
