Question to Zaino Users: Does it have to be Dawn?

I'm going to spend some quality time with the car tomorrow. I'm golfing first thing in the morning (not really relevant to the discussion here but I'm excited nevertheless :D ), then I have the rest of the day to Zaino the car. The question I have is:

To strip the wax, does it have to be Dawn or can it be another dish detergent? We have Palmolive in the house right now. Are there some detergents or ingredients that should be avoided.

Btw : I did search but couldn't find an answer to this question.

Dawn is used because it is very concentrated.

Other soaps tend to have lubricants and moisturizers in them which lower their effectiveness.

When they clean up penquins from oil spills, they use dawn.

Use dawn.

Great answer. Thanks. Just realized I need to spend some significant touching up chips in the front before I do the full Zaino treatment. So , no Zainoing today.
