Hey PT17,
Biggest question I got for you before you wax, is your paint smooth like glass, or rough like fine sand paper to the touch? If its smooth, your good to go. If its rough, I would highly recommend picking up a Clay Bar to remove contaminants from your paint before you wax. Here is a Link to the one Meguiar's has:
Meguiar's Direct Smooth Surface® Clay Kit
One last thing, if you would like your paint to really stand out, and look its best, I again really recommend using a good hand Glaze before waxing! Glaze is designed to give back vital nuitriants to your paint which disipate while in direct contact with sunlight, and also helps round off the edges from Swirl Marks giving you the best light refractivity (MORE GLOSS) possible! Here is a Link to a great Meguiar's Glaze:

If you do the steps above, you will see a huge improvement in your paint, and will have a good base surface to wax!
