Wink Washing after blackfire crystal seal

Since the dealer waxed the car when I bought it 2 weeks ago I haven't been in a rush to strip it and redo. My truck however hasn't been touched since I bought it 3 years ago. Figured it would be good initial practice.

Washed. Clayed. Washed. First coat of crystal seal. 20 mins. 2nd coat of crystal seal. Didn't see any adverse affects only waiting 20 mins between coats. The stuff flashes off immediately anyway

Question is how do I wash it now without affecting the crystal seal? Just water or will a good soap like chemical guys maxisuds not strip the sealant?

I'm claiming this is camaro relevant because you can see it in the reflection

If it's not real dirty just do rinseless wash(Duragloss) otherwise 2 bucket wash using a soap(Carpro Reset) that won't strip wax.
