I plan to wash, clay, polish with UC and follow up, apply sealant

When I should use Wax Cleaner fluid that suppose to remove remaining wax / sealant?
I use Meg's NXT 2.0 Wax and Ultimate Quick Wax as follow up.

To use wax cleaner before clay or after if at all?
To use after UC or not?
To use right before Wax / Sealant application?

I use MF towel to apply Wax Cleaner fluid.

tnx

thanks for the link
it helped
however, it isn't clear to me
will clay remove all previous wax / sealant to be able remove dirt on / in / under wax?

If I'll use polish - do I need follow up with pre-wax cleaner?

tnx

Using a pre-wax cleaner insures you have removed everything.

If you use a polish, you should not need to use a pre-wax cleaner but you could benefit from a 50/50 IPA wipedown to remove any residue polish.

So
1. Wash, clay, pre-wax, LSP
2. Wash, clay, polish, IPA wipedown, LSP
