The clay and paint cleaner will remove previous wax from the surface just fine. As for the process, there are MANY threads on this. Take a peek around and see what you can find. On the main MOL page, the 5 step process has it's own link IIRC.

Based on what you wrote I would think that the Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion is exactly what you are looking for. It removes any waxing the paint might have without hurting the paint and without re-adding any kind of waxing to your paint. A real surface prep. I would still clay the surface first.

Or simply using the Meguiar's clay bar with the Quick Detailer that comes with the kit would probably do the trick.

Repainting requires the substrate, in this case the chipped surface, to be clean and free of grease, oils, waxes, silicones, etc to ensure proper bonding of the new coat. Dupont makes a product specifically formulated for this called; Prep-Sol. this will clean the area to ensure none of the contaminates remain allowing the new primer and paint to properly bond.

i have clay and quick detailer, but am waiting on 7 show car polish, 26 or 16 wax, scratch x to remove swirls plast x for dull headlights. this will all be done by hand as i have no machinebuffer. question is, i dont seem to know best way to start? should i use deatailer and clay before scratch x or after and then show car no.7 then 26 and then 16? some assistance in the best order to use these products would help. i need to clean car remove the scratches and then polish up to a deep glossy shine. help greatly recieved the order and what to use.

Wash => clay => SwirlX => #7 => wax. Both clay and SwirlX will remove previous wax layers.
