When would you use a pre-wax cleaner?

[BuffMe]

What I`m talking about here is anything marketed as something to clean the paint and prep it before applying a wax or sealant. This could be something marketed as a pre-wax cleaner, or something not necessarily marketed as such but has the same intentions.



Personally, I don`t think it has any use in applications other than those which don`t involve polishing and thus obviously require some sort of paint prep/cleaning mechanism before the LSP.... but I could be wrong. I`m just curious to know when people would use something like this and what exactly the would/do use.

To get maximum benefit from your lsp, you want to use a cleaner. Otherwise oils maybe left on the paint. I use Zaino aio Klasse AIO or Ez Creme glaze.



I llike them. Others use Alcohol 50/50 to clean the paint.

If it`s a DD, "I" try to do it 2 or 3 times a year after claying.



I can proceed to an AIO after claying because my car is pretty much swirl free and clear under a light, and I tend not to polish too much.
