Go with Ultima UPGP. After about 3 coats of that top it with DWG and the look will be stunning. It will look super wet and the protection will be amazing.DWG= Danase Wet Glaze just incase.
The UPGP looks amazing by itself, some are just toping after 3 coats with DWG and its jaw dropping.

some claim waxes hide the "pop" in metallic paints (they suggest sealants instead), and space grey is loaded with metallic flakes. is there any logic to this?

IMHO, 2 camps on wax/final coat:
1) polymer glaze + sealant
2) carnauba pure wax (no polymer)

I am just trying this product made by chemical guys, but very positive raves about Zaino as well.

for carnauba, from personal experience, it's very hard to beat on price/performance is Lusso oro.
Search on this forums on who carries these product.
Any of these would run you under $100 (for cleanser, glaze, wax combo).
