I find that people like VXRMarc use Megs Last Touch before drying. Then apply the cleaner fluid, then the wax.

yes i agree that would be ideal . i was just wondering i dont alway s feel like useing a paint cleaner and just want to throw a nice coat of carnuaba on . lets say souveran for instince. it is known for its own distinct shine. useing a q/d like say adams then souverna i would think . you wouldnt get the full affect of the wax?

Sometimes these "gloss enhancers" will interfere with the bonding of sealants.
