Here's the real deal...
It all comes down to the type of single stage paint.
Solvent-evaporation lacquers and enamels
If it's OLD SCHOOL like old solvent-evaporation lacquers or enamels then you're going to be a lot better off sticking to a traditional wax or sealant and not a paint coating because these paints are porous and applying a pure polish or glaze before sealing the paint brings out the full richness of color.
Products like pure polishes and glazes tend to be oily and thus a coatings cannot make a proper bond. If you chemically strip a porous single stage paint you will dull it down and that defeats the purpose of doing any correction and/or polishing work.
Big picture is you compound and polish paint to make it LOOK GOOD. Stripping single stage paint makes them LOOK BAD.
Modern catalyzed urethanes
If it's a MODERN URETHANE SINGLE STAGE PAINT then it's basically the same type of paint as a clearcoat and thus you can treat it like a clear coat so apply paint coatings to these types of paint till the cows come home.
There you go...
