all detail spray or clay lube leaves something behind. stuff like fillers, gloss enhancer, silicone, and other stuff that will affect wax / sealant bonding.

Im not saying that it won't bond to your paint, but it will bond better if you used IPA to wipe down the paint before putting a layer of wax.

or better yet some manufacturers sell paint cleanser to be used before waxing/sealant to ensure a long lasting protection.
