Wax goes on last otherwise you just take it off when polishing.

Go to Polished Bliss - Car Care Products - Car Care Advice - Detailing Services for more information than you could possibly need.

Polishes generally will cut away a little paint, chemically clean the paint - or both - or add glazing oils to the paint (or all 3, or combo of 2). A wax is a final sealant and so should be used last.
