Dawn is not recommended for automotive paint. It will dry out the paint. Use a wash that's recommended for stripping wax, etc, for automotive paint. Otherwise, your steps are pretty close.
Here are the recommended steps for preparing paint for coating:
1. Prep/strip wash to remove old wax & coatings (something like Chemical Guys Clean Slate, not that I'd recommend Chemical Guys necessarily)
2. Iron Decontamination spray (Meguiar's Iron Removing Spray Clay or CarPro IronX) - makes the clay mitt step much easier
3. Clay mitt
4. Another prep wash
5. Cut & polish
6. IPA wipe down (50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol & water, Walmart carries a premixed solution from Mothers CMX or order your favorite brand on Amazon)
7. Now you're ready for your favorite coating
