Default Different types of waxes.

Wassap guys, just got to wash my car, used regular dish washing soap to strip away old wax (this is what youre suppose to do right?). Before I would always just regular wash, quick detailer , and occasionally wax my car, never stripping off the old wax, is this bad? Well I tried the dish washer soap, I just mixed it with Meguiar's gel shampoo as well. After I dried, I applied Meguiar's cleaner wax, finished applying/wiping that down and decided since the name was "cleaner" wax, I would use Meguiar's protective hi-tech yellow wax. Is this a good thing to do? I honestly dont know what each different type of wax is suppose to do or combine with another type of wax or what, but my car came out shiny and smooth

actually sounds like you did a good job.

the yellow wax i believe is a heavy carnuaba which will layer over the other.

i used dawn dish soap to strip off any wax and it worked pretty good. my process was:

wash with dawn
clay bar
wash again with zaino z7
polish with zaino aio
3 coats of zaino z2pro
top with zaino z6
