Clean paint before wax?

Meguairs color x should give a slight deeper cleaning while adding luster after claying also such product can potentially give you a true unwaxed paintwork for your said wax to bond too....just my thoughts

I thought Color X was a cleaner Wax?

If you want to do it correctly you should be removing all the contaminants in and on your paint prior to putting any wax on. You should buy a product called iron X that sprays on the car and removes all Iron deposits in the paint and pulls them out. After that process you should also be doing a full clay bar

•Considering your paint reconditioning processes
(sounds like the vehicle is in a fairly satisfactory state)
-Wash;
-Clean (claying, and paint cleaner)
-Seal (NanoWax)

...then, IMO:
-Meguiar's SwirlX, and/or M205...would be
*better choices* for the Clean/paint-cleaner step.

Note:
*better choices*, in this case, means:
better than using an AIO (ColorX)—since
you are going to be using the NanoWax.


•Keep in mind that:
-Claying may introduce some "marring" to the paint.
-The paint cleaners listed above have the ability to
remove such "marring".
