I've waxed my car once recently....how would u go about prepping a waxed car for application of simonize or cquart?
Decontaminate with Iron-X Snow Foam or similar (even clay bar if you really want to work). Then polish the car.. Your choice of product... I am partial to CarPro Reflects as the very fine abrasive is suitable for hand or machine use... And this abrasive actually dissolves as you use it giving an even smoother finish.  Do the plastic and HLs/TLs too! Next wash the car... I advise a foam cannon and no touch technique.... or else frequently disposing of the MF washcloths as you go. Blow the car dry... Don't rub.  Finally a gentle IPA wipdown just to be sure... Then apply the coating.... BTW the consumer version of CQuart is $75 for a kit that will do two coats on your car, but with this kit CarPro won't give the 2 year paint and sealnt warranty.

Doubt it... CQuart Finest is only sold to CarPro trained and certified (by them) appliers. It also has a different working time than CQuart in consumer version, but is the same coating essentially.

Carpro-us.com is a great source (Corey).  They are holding a Labor Day sale right now:
http://www.carpro-us.com/labor-day-sale/

FREE SHIPPING OVER 95$ - PLEASE NOTE: When using the free shipping coupon code FREE95 - At checkout

But yeah, I do believe CQF is installer-only.  CQ UK is also a great product, BUT not as easy to use as CQ or CQF.  CQ when used with Reflect will make your jaw drop, no question, from the sample images detailers have put up.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
