My 2 cents worth here is , NEVER TOUCH YOUR CAR, or touch it the least amount possible. Every time you touch it especially to wash it with a sponge or mitt or whatever you choose , you take that dirt on the paint and rub it right in , and the water and soap just acts as a lubricant and helps the dirt cut the paint even more.
If my car is really dirty , i just take it to the coin wash with the pressure washers and blast that thing. Best idea to strip the car of hard dirt bugs and grease is to wash it often so that crap doesnt accumulate, also use the DEGREASER setting on the car wash , might say wheel and tire cleaner or engine degreaser on it , it wont harm the paint , let it sit for a bout a min or 2 and then wash the carr with the soa dna water and rinse etc, that gets 99.9 % of the junk off and then you're ready to wax providing you use a paint cleaner first , eg any multistep wax system where you need to use a cutting compound on the paint , then a polish then a wax , best results that last and always impress.
Lots of work but what you put into it , you get out in the end
