Do the metal polishing at the same time you wash the boat. Polish the metal first and then wash the boat, this way you kill two birds with one stone.
If you have non-skid surfaces to clean, clean these after polishing the metal and then wash the boat, you'll wash away all the metal polishing residue and any cleaners and dirt from cleaning the non-skid surfaces. Then finish out by washing the boat from the highest portions first working down.

I'm worried that as it drains over the sides that it would strip wax off. Should I use it first before even compounding?

See the answer I posted above...
