There is no issue with mixing brands within your routine, but I would never ever mix two products together (some people, believe it or not, do this).

A little note would be that I understand (correct me if I am wrong) that Gyeon prep is basically the same as eraser, so it is not a product which will do much to remove a wax/sealant. Gtech panel wipe is a rather different product, with strong solvents, and a lot more likely to remove LSPs (but don't bet your life on removal being easy!).

So what u suggest? Im looking for product that will remove previous wax/ sealant and will fit to the sealant products i mentioned b4 .

Its not exactly mixing cuz its two diff products ,so i dont see any problem

IMHO:
A light polishing session is your best bet to remove any existing Waxes/Sealants.

Then:
Unless the Sealants specifically call for the paint to be "completely bare, or squeaky clean" before they can be applied, I'd just apply one of the aforementioned Sealants...foregoing the "panel wipes".

Unfortunately, a quick polish is the only guaranteed way to remove an existing LSP. It is possible that the panel wipes you talk about may remove a degraded wax but my experience, and that of others, is that many LSPs are far harder to completely remove than traditionally thought.

LSP = Last Step Product - typically a wax, sealant or coating

Polishing is the way to go
