Hey guys I've got a question I am using Menzerna fg400 followed by 3800. My question is after these two steps can I go straight to wax with something like Maguires ultimate wax, or do I need to clean the surface first with something
 
Can go straight to wax or sealant.

Have at it! Wax or sealant is fine. No need to do anything else. If you really want to get anal, you can use a pre-wax cleaner. But if it was me; I would go straight to the wax. Pics when you are done please!
 
I have always gone straight to LSP after cutting and buffing with Menzerna but FWIW, there's a similar discussion going on in the current "Duragloss 501 and cutting/compounding" thread started by member Mike Honcho. I've never felt the need to use a "cleaner" after a 2 step correction before applying my LSP's but there are some who like and use that approach. As a result of that thread i AM going to try it on my next correction job to see what it yields from the extra effort. I do wipe down with Car Pro Eraser after my final polishing step but i think you are asking about a machine applied pre-LSP cleaner for a deeper clean of the paint.

To answer your question...no, i don't think you NEED to but would you benefit from it by doing it? Some think so and i'm certainly going to try it for myself. It certainly won't hurt anyway. Is it worth the extra time?
 
I just finished mp2500 followed with fp3500 and will add WGDGPS 3.0 then I will add Colinite 845 on top of that. I used mp2500 as my swirl remover and fp3500 as my (you are crazy it looks perfect already)step. My eyes can't tell the difference that fp3500 adds until it is time to wash and I realize dirt,road grime,bugs etc... wash right off like butter. Even the drying step goes quicker because of the smooth surface that was created by these added hours spent polishing with fp3500. I do a waterless wash before the sealant and 845 are added to remove dust or specs of anything that I may not see.
