Default Between polishing and carnuba wax

If I wash the car, clay it, use a polish, and then S100 carnuba, should I use another wax after the polish before the carnuba?

Also, should I rewash the car after I clay it, or is that just personal preferance?

T.I.A.

up to you... i would use a synthetic in between- not another wax.
this would give more staying power to the protection and also a bit more depth, imo.

rewash after clay is personal pref- especially if you are gonna polish anyway.
i usually rinse and dry after clay, but its not necessary.

I think you're just wasting any other wax you layer on top of the other wax.

There's Menzerna FMJ, Blackfire, Klasse, Jeffs, Poorboy's, too many to name. Personally I have the first 4 I listed and so far I like them.
