You seem stuck on this hand soap idea. I wouldn't use hand soap. Clear handsoap is great for cleaning up cloth items with minimal water but I think that you'll just end up scratching the car because it's simply not sudsy enough to lift on the dirt that is around these glue lines.

Get yourself some car wash soap, microfiber mit, 2 buckets (google two bucket method), some microfiber towels to dry and head down to the local carwash. I realize that it's winter in VA but most carwashes have warm water in the spray bays and a faucet (clean water, not reused) for you to fill the buckets. Spray the car first, use the foam gun if they have it (NOT THE BRUSH), then wash the car by hand and finish with a high pressure spray. When you wash, concentrate on washing completely first, then come back and wash around those lines. Your Spring detail will clean up any scratches you pick up.
