Mate who usually knows **** all (but acts like he knows everything) says I have to use a professional product to remove whatever wax/polish might be on it, but another guy far more trustworthy reckons Morning Fresh dishwasher liquid or truck wash will do the same job (strip wax etc) and will leave me money for the things where I shouldn't skimp on cost such as compound (he suggests Scholl), claybar and more pads.
Is iron decontamination suggested every time or only when needed (how can I tell)? And will a dishwashing liquid or truck wash do the job to strip wax etc or best to still get a professional product for this?

Dishwashing liquid is an absolutely terrible idea. It’s full of salt.
I have never done a iron decontamination, used to be just wash, clay bar, polish, seal. I do plan on trying “three way” by bowdens at some point which is used as part of a clay rubber/bar process.
I wouldn’t get too hung up on it however.
Autoglym super resin polish or paint cleanse and restore by bowdens will be all you need. No need for a cut and polish unless you have damage to the paint.
