Thanks Mark, I was begining to think it was such a stupid question that no
one bothered responding !  

 I ended up doing as you suggest.  But it was blowing like a gale that day,
( a rather regular occurence in Gilroy)  and even with the car in the
garage, and stepping well away from the car, it ended up being a pain in the
bu**.  (There isn't enough light in the garage with the door closed.) I'd
try and spray the rag/sponge, and the spray would blow everywhere.  Finally
had to take the top off the containers and pour it on the rag/sponge.  This
is always how I remembered doing my MGB, wax, then windows, crome, vinyl. 
Seemed to me that when I tried reversing the order, I'd end up getting wax
on everything that I had just cleaned.
