Yes. The wax won`t mess up the M05. Just don`t wax aggressively, especially with something that`s solvent-rich.
You`re right, it doesn`t really hide all that effectively (not as well as M07). Like M07 it`s simply a filler (won`t actually correct anything) and it only fills so much. Doing a few coats (more and more gently with each so you don`t do the "like removes like" thing and just clean off the previous coat) can help a *little* bit, but it`s simply no miracle-filler.
M05 is different from other Meguair`s glazes/"pure polishes" in that it really *IS SUPPOSED TO DRY* before you buff it off. The diffs that allow that, and the drying itself, are what makes it so user-friendly. Stuff like M07, that does *not* dry, can be an incredible PIA to use.
Could be that M05`s just not the right stuff for what you`re trying to do. If so, I feel bad that my advice wasted your money, but you can always keep it on the shelf for use after any paintwork.
IMO, the "fill flaws with glaze" thing gets over-stated, there`s only so much you can do. Could be that one of the glaze/filler-rich "swirlmark removers" (and those scare-quotes *ARE* intentional
) will do the job better. Maybe M09 Swirlmark "Remover" v2.0. You could top that with the M05 and then wax and see if that works better; the M09 is a filler with some minimal/ineffective minor abrasives.
