Welcome to Autopia:wavey
Most people on this forum will top sealants with a wax of their choice, there are so many options when topping.
I don’t think that topping will "hurt" the SG, people who top SG are topping for these reasons.
1. Depth of a carnauba wax
2. Sacrafecial (sp?) layer
3. Just can’t leave their car alone:nixweiss
I personally use AG extra gloss protection and top with #16.
Use the search and learn options at the top of this page; this will give you all the information you'll ever need.
Have fun.

Lolt345- Welcome to Autopia! I got great results topping SG with Meg's #16. No problems at all and (IMO) it looked a lot better than it did without the topper.
There's a rumour that Souveran might not work too well on top of SG, but I haven't tried it myself.

I top SG with P21S. If there is any difference in durability, I cannot tell.
Thanks for the replies.
Before I registered on this site I had been searching. I didn't really find any posts that goes into depth about topping SG.
I'm not topping SG with wax for durability reasons. It's for show and as a sacrificial layer. I'll either get #16 or P21S. How is Natty's paste wax?
This site is great.

I am currently using Souveran over SG and love the look. Other waxes might last longer, but the Souveran depth is hard to beat on black.
On black, I love AIO/SG x3/Souveranx2.
On my personal car which is metallic sapphire blue, AIO x2/SGx5 is untopped or use AIOx2 / Souveranx2. AIO2/SG5/S100 doesn't work good on it.
On silver and light beige, AIO/S100 is bright and shiny and liquid. I love S100 as a topper on silver. It does add depth to silver.

~One mans opinion / observations~
Using a last step product (LSP) over a sealant that has cross-linked will not affect its durability. The purpose of applying a LSP protective coating to automotive finishes is to act as a sacrificial barrier, you can reapply another coating to replenish the wax that has eroded.
IMO a polymer sealant reflectivity results in a very bright, flat silver glow to the paint film surface.
By adding Carnauba wax as a LSP, once it cross-links it becomes a transparent layer on top of the paint surface and provides Colour, Depth and Clarity that is without equal.
~Hope this helps~
