Cleaner wax then seal?

But I'd really like to put a sealer on when I'm all done (ultimate liquid).

And as I understand it, I really shouldn't be putting a sealant on top of a wax.

How do I get around this?

Simple.

Just apply the Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax on after you use the cleaner/wax.

In simple terms you'll be using the cleaner/wax AS A PAINT CLEANER and then sealing the paint with the Megs UW. Some will argue that the synthetic wax won't bond to the wax left by the cleaner/wax but that's all hypothetical.

Keep it simple... the second product you apply will likely at least in part dissolve or remove whatever the cleaner/wax left behind and the two will become one. Then let the second product dry to a haze and wipe off the excess.

You're done.

Now wash carefully and repeat when needed or when you feel like it.

I like the slight abrasive nature of a cleaner wax. I'm not aware of any "cleaner sealers".
Is there such a thing and if not, what are some other options?

Lots of cleaner/waxes and lots of cleaner/sealants and in fact most products are cleaner/hybrids.

Wow. Thank you all for your replies. I've been reading a bunch more both here and over on MOL. Would it be more appropriate to use SwirlX as a dedicated paint cleaner rather than the cleaner wax, considering that I will be sealing it with ULW?
 
My new favorite AIO/cleaner wax is HD Speed. Correction is nice for an AIO and the protection is pretty decent too. If you want a little more protection after that, throw on some HD Proxy as well.

The Klasse twins (AIO and HGS) are also a good combo, but I prefer HD Speed because it's just so easy to work with.
 
If not we're me, if just use a fine polish ( guaranteed removed of old wax plus some clarity will be brought ) then hit with your LSP of choice
 
Griots 1 step is one of the best I have used. Tech wax 2.0 is also decent but I have been more satisfied with griots
