Never heard of using this?

What do you do, spray a section and wipe with a micro?

Also any suggestions on a glass cleaner.

I guess this is a good replacement if you run out of detailer spray. Do you water down the liquid or use it straight?

The dishwashing liquid is not a replacement for the detailer spray. The spray is used in between waxes to keep the car looking clean. When you want to do a full polish/wax next time, fill a bucket with dishwashing liquid, and wash your car with that first. It helps prior to using a claybar.
