Wax on top of sealant?

Hey everyone!

I just purchased a black '95 Acura Integra and it needs a detail pretty badly. I was wondering if it's fine and recommended to apply wax on top of sealant? Well, here's my plan, let me know your recommendations and if I should make any changers. I am still new to detailing but I would like to get better everyday! This would be my second time using the PC 7424.

1) Wash Car
2) Clay Bar
3) Wash Car
4) Apply Poorboy's SSR 2.5
5) Apply Poorboy's SSR 1
6) Apply Klasse All-in-One
7) Apply Klasse Sealant Glaze (2-3 Coats? 1 every 12 hour)
8) Apply Poorboy's Natty Paste Wax (Blue)

How's this sound? Is there anything I should change?
I'm using a PC 7424 w/ Edge 2000 6" DA Pads. (Any recommendation for which product on which pad?)
Also, I have some Poorboy's Professional Polish. Should I throw that in anywhere?
Thank you DetailCity! :)
 
That looks like a nice process. I would skip the AIO between the SSR1 and SG. Your finish will already be as clean as it needs to be for SG. Also, I wouldn't go with more than two coats of SG.

I'll second this and add that when you finish washing the car...use some clean soapy water to clay the car then just rinse and dry
 
Before applying my second coat of Sealant Glaze, should I wash and dry my car first? The car would have been sitting overnight (or 12 hours) before the second coat, so what should I be doing?

if the car is in a garage over night there is no need to wash, simple wipe down of any dust that might be sitting on it... If its outside and the dew or dust gets on it then I would wash it down to make sure that its dust free.

If it's clean and in a garage just apply another layer. If it has light dust you can lighty wipe off with a MF towel. If it has been outside, maybe a wipedown with S&W or a wash may be needed.
 
I think you can skip the 3rd coat of Klasse Sealant Glaze, seems like overkill to me. When I apply sealants, I use just 2 coats.
 
I'm going to agree with Beemerboy and Budman with what they have said already. As for your pad choice question, I would start out with a polishing or light cut pad for the SSR2.5. If that doesn't work after a couple of passes, you might need to step up to a medium cut pad. For the SSR1, you should use a polishing pad.
