How can these types of products have cleaners and wax in the formula both at the same time? Take products such as meguiar's cleaner/wax for example or Klasse AIO. How can you have both properties in the same bottle? Wouldn't the properties cancel each other out to a point?

The cleaners (usually solvents) in these products are small in comparison to the wax content. When applied the solvents clean the paint, and eventually evaporate away with exposure to air, leaving the wax behind. Some do contain mechanical abrasive, but not many, and if they do it's typically something like clay that breaks down quickly, leaving behind the wax.
Cleaners Waxes have their niche in this world, but you won't find many on this site using them.

Sorta depends on how you define the term "cleaner wax". The category includes a lot more than the usual Meg's/Mother's Cleaner Wax, Meg's #6, etc.
Plenty of us use cleaner waxes, we just *usually* top them with something. AIO, VM, MW, Autoglym SRP, 1Z PP/MP/WPS, PB's PWC, etc. etc. All these (and many others) can be considered "cleaner waxes"
