The Deep Crystal Step #2 is almost as good and is often available in autoparts stores (ditto for the Mother`s). The Meg`s #7 is also commonly available but many people find it user-unfriendly; it`s sorta tricky to use. FWIW I don`t like the 3m IHG very much, I`d use something else.
You can glaze it right away. In fact, the painters might have already done it before you ever saw the car. You can apply it by hand or with the PC. By PC, use either a very soft polishing pad or a finishing pad, speed 3-4, don`t overwork the product, wipe off with a very soft MF while it`s still a little wet. With the #5 it`s not a big deal if it dries, but I wouldn`t let the DC#2 dry all the way.
FWIW, my painter bakes his work and I still use glaze for about three months. Most people don`t want to wait that long though and with winter coming you`ll want some real protection on there before the weather gets too nasty.
BTW, that sounds like a nice color.
