Speaking of Dawn...
I visited my local Costco and picked up a mega-size bottle of Dawn. Since my TSX lacks the cargo net, the bottle unfortunatly ended up on its side and about 1/4 cup of the stuff spewed out from the cap, which had popped loose, fortunately, onto my trunk tray. Good thing! That could have been messy!
Anyway, long story short, I just removed the trunk tray and hosed off the Dawn. My trunk tray is nice and sparkly now!

you dont want to use dawn unless you plan on waxing right away because it WILL remove any wax that you previously applied in the past.
I use armor all car wash in between waxes; it doesnt strip off your wax (wich takes forever to apply) and it doesnt streak when you towel off the h2o

A little Dawn goes a long way. I buy a 97 cent bottle at Wally-Mart, and it lasts forever.
Dawn used with other chemicals makes a fine bubble mix for blowing bubbles. It think it's Dawn with Glycerin or something.
I've heard that some people even wash dishes with Dawn.
But you know what works better than Dawn at stripping floor wax? <sniff, sniff> Beer! I accidentally spilled some on the floor and wiped it up. The floor looked so bright and clean, aside from needing wax.
