To wash a car in dish washing liquid will strip the wax from your car, pull the oils out of the paint and clear coat and over time make the finish brittle, crack and hair line crack.
To wash a car in the sun with any soap with cause water spots on the finish. A water spot is actually a miniature crater being formed on your finishes surface. After time these mini craters dig deeper and deeper in time getting under the finish and allowing it to lift. This lifting can cause the finish to again be weak and brittle as the bond is no longer there.
The best soap for a car is actual car was soap. It is a softer soap and will not remove the wax or harm the finish. A fresh wash mitt or microfiber sponge is best over a kitchen sponge.
To use the wrong products on your car or in a improper way can cause damage that is not reversible unless repainted. And a repaint is way worse than a factory finish.

Dishwashing liquid IS hard on the paint, use a car wash product.
It takes grease off your dishes, it will take the wax right off too.
Water spots are hard to get off in hot weather.

Dishwashing liquid isn't common on the paint, use a motor vehicle wash product. It takes grease off your dishes, it fairly is going to take the wax good off too. Water spots are no extra common to get off in heat climate.

Yes it can damage some clear coat paints and leave a film. Wash in the shade and not direct sun light.

If it doesn't hurt your hands, it shouldn't hurt your car!
