Default Topping KSG

I made my first (and second) attempts at using Klasse this weekend. Once I had my car clayed, I used AIO to clean up the paint (it's in good shape, only 6 months old, and has always been covered by at least one coat of Blitz, so it was easy...even by hand). Then I did a coat of KSG, removed with the assistance of QD spray. I allowed that to cure for 24 hours or so, then did a second coat the same way.

I am pleased with the results, and it was actually easier than wax. The question is do I need to top the KSG with a wax? If so, should I use Blitz (which will last about 30 seconds this winter, when I can't really redo it) or a synthetic (which might make it until a nice day in the winter when I can redo it)? Or am I good to go with two coats of the KSG (and maybe a third if I get around to it before it gets too cold)?

Default stick with the KSG

at this point anything you put on top is really wasted effort unless you are in search of some different depth and or clarity. Which btw would be negligable anyway.

2 coats of SG is good protection to take you into winter. Add a 3rd anyway if you have the time and willingness. Wait for a good day in November if you can.

Default i put a coat of blitz over sg, the diff in depth (on my black anyway) is night and day than w/o a

a coat of blitz on top...on a lighter car, like silver, i think the difference would be negligable and probably not worth it, although, it does only take me an hour to apply and remove wax so...

Default Carnauba

I know for a fact a coat of Carnauba (like Souveran or Sig Series) on top of the SG will enhance the glow! So why not put another layer, it isnt going to hurt just help! Been there done that!
