wax cleaner or stage 1, whats the diff?

I have some questions about the wax cleaner.... I know the name pretty much tells all... but does it leave a coat of wax, is like a stage 1 precleaner (this one removes the wax), Will you need to wax after using a wax cleaner??

What do you mean by "wax cleaner"? Can you give an example, or do you mean "cleaner wax"?

After using a pre-wax cleaner, sold as step 1 of Mothers and Meguiar's 3 step systems, yes you will have to wax. If you mean "cleaner wax" (ie, most of the waxes sold on store shelves) then no you don't have to wax again.

I would highly recommend putting another layer of wax on the surface. Those celaner/waxes will seldom get you two weeks of protection....Your better of, financially speaking and protection wise to go with a multi step program i.e. wash, clay, smr, polish, seal.....

I was going to post about cleaner wax and I'm glad it's been brought up. I've been using meguiar's, and from what I recall it's given me ~4 weeks of protection based on watching rain water bead up. But I've been wondering if I need to follow it up w/ something else, or if it's good for me to use as my primary wax (don't have the attention span to go thru more steps).
