Go to your local auto parts store and ask for their clay bar. It's made by a couple of different companies but the one I like is made by Mother's. It goes and removes impurities from the paint. It really helps with soot. At least it did on mine.

I agree this is a good way to eliminate it..

I do the same thing, also tide laundry detergent, instead of dishsoap works very well too, used to use it on my old ford idi, now i just use dawn..

You know Dawn and other dish soaps will strip the wax off the car also right? Not a very good idea unless you are planning on waxing the car that day.
