Will the wax layer make the flake look deep like using clear coat on a vehicle?

Just coats of clear gelcoat is doing that the last layer of wax or duratec just seals off the gelcoat to make it cure out all the way and become hard non sticky

 

[mickyryan]

Going as thick as I can with coats so I have room to wetsand and buff and not fear going into flake not going too overthick where it will shatter easily either
