The good old test spot will be your answer.

I would advise against using any cleaner wax, (like 505) type product before coating.

Maybe check out 3D One, or ACA 520 from their line.

Good call. I forgot 505 is an AIO.

Sure!

Coatings often require bare paint, or a designated, specialized primer polish before application.

Products like 505 utilize some type of wax and/or sealant for protection. These products create more work with removal than typical polishing oils. Using a cleaner wax works against efficient work flow, when applying a coating.

CarPro Essence, or Geyon Primer are exceptions to their product line.
