Never used Liquid Glass but I would assume yes.

Yes, wax after Liquid Glass is fine. I used LG many years ago religiously. My allegiance to it (before i became detail educated) was based on a good friend of mine who was the Chief Pilot of a South FL commuter airline. He swore by the stuff and they used it on their fleet of aircraft.

I do not know the chemical makeup of the stuff but if it is truly synthetic, let it sit for a day before adding any carnauba wax.

I do for some added gloss. Love soft waxes like ArtDeShine ArtDeKotsos or Victoria Red as they spread sensationally on already slick and sealed paintwork

:iagree:
Bikerdave47 I put on a sealant 1st and then a coat of wax afterwards. I like Menzerna Powerlock as a sealant and I just bought Pinnacle Souveran and going to use that. I also bought Victoria Red and I am going to use on my girlfriends car.

Just curious Vivant511...how do you like the Vics Red? When AGO has another sale I will be buying the Pinncale Black Label Synergy to try that one. Any how any sealant and a wax is a good thing.

Everyone have a great day!!!!!

Kamakaz1961 Vic's Red is sensational for gloss. It's very popular here in Australia for shows. It's easy to use and doesn't haze / gas if you layer it like some japanese waxes do.

I can't compare to Pinnacle black label as I haven't used it before, sorry!

I like Optimum sealant, but adding wax was just put on for looks for that day or until the next wash.

Absolutely my approach and philosophy too...carnaubas over my sealants are for looks and the occassional slickness added twice a year for our wonderful FL love bug seasons!

No you can't...
Not if you're going to add more layers of Liquid Glass!!!

TO WIT:
•25 LG-"layers" may not effectively stop a charging Rhino...
But has been reported to deflect certain-sized rocks, though.

Yes, another good point, Bob...you have to wait for anything not compatible with LG to disappear before adding more LG. And with LG being a polymer based product, carnaubas on top will prevent any further app's of LG. Fortunately, carnaubas for me and in my climate give up the ghost quickly though.
