I've been using the AIO/Sealant (first it was SG, then I switch to UPP) topped with wax (in my case, Souveran) for three years now, and my experience has been similar to what Mike posted; it's not so much that the layers broke down, but that I picked up very minor spiderwebs and micromarring. My routine has been to completely strip it once a year, in the spring, using the mildest polish I can to get out the marring (which inevitably appear to be in the layers of SG/UPP), then I start over with 2 applications of AIO, followed by multiple layers of UPP, then finally topping with wax.

So for me, it's not that the protectio nbreaks down, it's that the sealant layers get micromarring and need to be cleaned up. Once a year has been enough for me, but the car is garaged when it's at home.
