ummm, i would not suggest that, do not put anysort of wax or polishing glaze on the new paint job unless it specifies that it contains no wax or silicone for at least 90 days or youll fuck your new job up, clear takes up to 90 days to fully cure. and if you put showroom glaze on it youll clog the pores in the clear and it will not correctly cure and will be prone to cracking and blemishing....
you want to get that bitch blinging, heres what you do....wetsand with 1500-2k grit paper....get a high speed buffer,then 3m rubbing compound on a wool buffing pad, then hit it up with some 3m FOAM PAD POLISH with a foam pad, then hook it up with 3m FINESSE IT 2 or 3 on a foam pad, then a 3m finishing hand glaze with no wax or silicone, you need to go to a paint shop to get the fpp and finesse(i go to mattos pro finishes off witchduck road), none of those contain wax or silicone and are safe for fresh paint jobs...... just be careful wetsanding and buffing cause you will fuck up your new paintjob in a heartbeat if you ru in one spot to long or press to hard with the wool pad, its kinda hard to fuck shit up with the foam pad but it is possible, and please dont wetsand on the corners.....

Re: finishing the job
the grand old inexpensive Omni as far as product goes, and actually the area I belive you are refering to, on the rear 1/4, the first gun we were using screwed up right there and we switched guns mid stream.. tip size I believe was 1:3, but I could be mistaken
