if too much car wash strips off your wax, then just wax your car more often. i really don't know about the amount of soap to use though. i always eye ball it.

Moving to the Details forum. Perhaps you will get some more responses here.

I always thought that most car wash soap was designed NOT to remove wax. Also, if you used less than the recommended amount, I would be scared of losing some of the lubrication properties in the soap.

Using a proper car wash shampoo won’t strip off your wax, Meguiars gold class car shampoo is the one I always use and it won’t strip your wax even if you use double the recommended usage I think. If you do want to strip your wax, you can try dawn washing liquid.

Good luck
