Glaze On Top Of Klasse SG

Have been reading and searching the forums but did not find what I was looking for. So here's my question:



Thinking of topping SG with some wax but really liked the idea of a glaze (Megs#7, 3M IHG etc, those that are non abrasive), to deepen the color and get a wetter look. Can glazes be put onto of SG (properly cured, of course), so that it performs its function of enhancing glossiness etc.



Anyway, the background to this is that I really like the protection and durability of KSG, but wanted the wetness of a glazed and waxed surface. All of the above would be done on a properly prepped paint surface, i.e. washed, clayed, polished to removed swirl and etches etc, SG would be layered 3 times over a treatment of AIO.



Comments, ideas or opinions?
 
Depends how long you want the SG to last and how willing you are to strip everything off and start fresh .

Glaze washes off with simply water , but it would work fine . I don't know how wet over plasticky would look though
 
If it were me, I would go with some sort of spray wax product...Sonus Acrylic Glanz, Zaino Z-8, Optimum Car Wax, etc.--perhaps Crystal Mist. IMO you'd have to be crazy to go through the..er..."user friendliness" of #7 when you could use a spray wax or even an easy to apply/remove carnauba paste.

The intent is to put a carnauba (maybe S100 or 476S/885 or 845) over the #7, IHG or whateverelse. Question is how well would the glaze stick on the SG and the wax stick on the glaze.
 
Glaze is made to brighten a freshly polished car. Ex pre-wax cleaner, Meguire's No. 7, Then wax or sealant. Glazes do wonders on brighting a dull looking finish by adding oils and stuff. Then you just wax it or seal it. Red Moose Glaze is a favorite here.
 
Hi MDRX8,

Reading you answer gives me a feeling that it is alright to put on KSG (sealant) on Megs #7. I've heard otherwise on the many threads within Autopia and the other forum, because the oils in #7 and synthetic nature of KSG don't let them adhere quite well.



Would you like to explain you answer a little deeper?



Thanks,
