little confused on the post .... if you did the EX-P and left it alone for three weeks, then yes you could add another coat of two and go to a wax topper as wanted. Now if you had a wax topper on top of the EX-P from three weeks prior, I highly suggest you polish or strip and start over. Reminents fromt the wax could still be present and will likely effect the durability of the sealant.

Geez, that was bad! Sorry, typed as I was walking out the door...And I'm a teacher :>)
Anyway, two weeks ago, 2 coats AIO, 1 coat EXP, 2 coats Nat Blue.
Can I wash, then add a few more coats of EXP, then wax again? Or is it too soon and I will have to strip; and if so, what would happen if I did it anyway (w/o stripping)? I know I can keep adding wax after washing.
Maybe I should just let it be for a few more weeks, let the wax wear off and do it all over.
I think I am just preparing for boredom of summer break, as today was my last work day and I just wanna detail!

From what I've gleened from reading other threads here, once the wax goes on you'd be advised to stay with only new applications of wax untill you're ready to take it all the way back down to paint and start again.

Confirmation?

I agree with StarGazer that once wax is applied, you should only apply more
wax until you strip the wax and sealant to the paint. Then you can apply
sealant. If you want multiple coats of sealants, you should not apply wax
until you get the desired coats of sealant applied. You can apply sealant and
leave it until you have time to apply another coat. I have applied 2 to 3 coats
of PB EX and then start topping with whatever carnauba topper you like.
Once the carnauba topper is applied, then you should only apply more carnauba toppers unitl you strip it again. They say that sealants won't bond
properly to carnauba. Carnauba will bond to sealants.

I am not aware of any way to strip just the wax. Claying or polishing will
strip anything off for the most part. There are more ways to strip off the
protection, but none that I would advise. Someone else may chime in.
