If you do use a buffer to apply it, use a speed setting of 2 or 3 and a blue (or black) pad.
Regarding the cure time, if you top it right away, you're going to sacrifice the durability of the FMJ. If the coat hasn't fully cured and bonded to the paint, when you wax over it you'd be primarily left with just wax on your paint and little to no sealant protection. If you weren't planning on waiting, there's almost no benefit in doing both steps other than spent time and product.
I always recommend waiting for the first maintenance wash to top it with a coat of wax. This also gives you time to appreciate the look of the sealant and compare the differences after the wax is on there.
Hope this helps,

Thanks a million George. Just what I suspected. I will let it be for a few days, until my first wash, then top it with Natty's Blue.
Another quickie:
Any benefit to 2 or 3 coats of FMJ , each a couple of days apart ?
Or is it sufficient to do one coat of FMJ , then top it after first wash with Natty's Blue (my favorite wax for Jet Black)
Thanks again !
