On the contrary, I recommend you go with a good synthetic sealant over a wax. Carnauba's often mute metallic flakes and limit the amount of clarity and reflectiveness which in turn limits depth.

From my understanding sealants form a smoother surface finish that reflects more light than a carnauba wax which leaves the surface alot rougher. A smoother surface allows more clarity and greater depth which ultimately results in more light reaching the metallic flakes. With the flake receiving more light it allows them to stand out further from the base coat and improve the flake 'pop'.

My 2c anyways...use it don't use it Bluebiggrin
