What do you mean mate? Do you want to know about paintwork prep before you apply the wax or just what applicators you should use?

poorboys ssr - either 1, 2, 2.5 or 3.. use a glaze or a sealant before the wax though..
everyone and his dog will be here in a moment telling you to use meguiars or autoglym - if you are using decent carnauba wax then at least polish it with something decent first.

Actually washing up liquid will strip back wax and sealants very very well, it was recommended to me by some car detailing gurus.
The salt content makes no odds as long as you don't over use washing up liquid (ie wash with it every week) and as long as you rinse it thoroughly afterwards.

Answer is yes, but possibly not evenly.
I would post the same question at http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/
I always go there when in doubt, same as here really you get a few conflicting answers but all the regular posters there have a million times more knowledge than me at detailing cars, its what they are passionate about.
