   I assume you mean Minwax Wipe On Poly.  You can use it over the Waterlox, I suppose but there is no benefit on a clock which hardly need extra protection from abrasion.   Poly is a little less clear than the phenolic resin in Waterlox, but perhaps a small degree lighter.  I wouldn't use the Minwax, but if you do you should wait until the Waterlox is well cured before putting on the Minwax and scuff sand to aid adhesion.  The difference in appearance will be very minor, if you can tell at all.

   Waterlox is a varnish, Minwax wipe-on is a varnish.  There is little point to putting the Minwax over the Waterlox.  What do you want to accomplish?

   If you want to try a wipe on finish, just thin the Waterlox Satin 50/50 with mineral spirits.  Now you have a wipe-on finish.  No need to purchase the Minwax.
