Zaino polish before applying stripes?

My Zaino kit is coming tomorrow, and my RiderGraphix stripe kit is expected the day after.

I know that I absolutely need to wash and claybar before applying the stripes, but should I wait to do the polish until after they're on, or will the polished surface provide better results with the adhesive?

And prep the surfaces to be striped with Grease and Wax Remover.

DAWN Dish soap. Zaino recommends it to use right before a full Zaino detail session. Don't get in the habit of using it on your car. But it will remove all the grease and wax.
