Without getting too down in the weeds, regular wax provides a layer of protection and cleaner wax, AKA all in one wax, has some chemicals in it to clean the surface of the paint (or clear coat if you want to get technical) and then provide a layer of protection. So in other words, if you wax and your paint isn't perfect you are putting wax on top of whatever is stuck on your finish. The cleaner wax will get rid of some of that crap. Granted you could go all out and clay bar, etc. but cleaner wax is an easier but not as effective method. I typically do cleaner wax, regular wax, top coat wax once a season and regular wax, top coat wax once a month.
