Yes, this is much-debated.

Unless your vehicle is horribly dirty or you feel the need to strip wax from the finish, I wouldn't bother with Dawn.

Using a clay and/or pre-wax cleaner or even a good cleaner wax will remove all but the most excessive wax build-up.

While I think you'd be hard pressed to find that using dish soap does any harm to your clearcoat, I prefer to not strip every finish of its lustre, including trim, rubber, etc.

Just use a quality car wash.

As stated - it is much debated.
I *think* the worst part is the effect on rubber seals.
