The theory I've adopted is Clay bar will do an excellent job of removing above surface contaminants and will strip the wax. If you have major wax buildup (white stuff) you would use dawn because clay baring that will most likely scratch the paint.

Now compare paint to skin - both have natural oils. Dawn/detergent will get your paint very clean but will also strip your paint of all those good oils; compare that to a car wash soap that will clean the paint/lifting dirt/adding lubrication well preserving those natural oils. So I'd just wash normally - maybe use a little higher concentrate of soap/then go back to normal mix.

Whats the difference between a wax, sealant and glaze? I still gotta learn how to use a orbital polisher then I'm set.
