Since wiregrass is also a species of Bermudagrass, there is not a product available that would selectively remove it and not harm you Bermudagrass lawn. In this case it would be best to very carefully spot treat the wiregrass with a non-selective herbicide like RoundUp QuikPro, and reseed the desirable Bermuda in those areas as soon as 14 days after an application.
No, using Dawn Dish Soap in place of a Non Ionic Surfactant with Fusilade II Herbicide would not be recommended as this is off label usage and not advised per the manufacturer or DoMyOwn.com.

Fusilade II Herbicide will not suppress or control zoysiagrass. Hi Yield Triclopyr Ester, or the ingredient Triclopyr in general, is a commonly used herbicide to kill bermuda and zoysia in a cool season lawn such as fescue.
