If you have brand new traps in the factory grease, there is no need to dye them before waxing. I boil off the grease and then wax them. After the first season, if you are catching fur and using antifreeze, they will be plenty rusty. I then power wash, boil clean, boil dye, then wax. The purpose of dying is to neutralize rust and odors picked up. If a trap is clean, it makes no sense to dirty it just so you can neutralize the dirt.
