If you like the Spritz sealant, try deep gloss paint sealant. One of my favorite sealants. I have Fuzion, have only used it a couple of times but its very nice.
Uber Rinse less. OUTSTANDING!! Actually everything Wolfgang puts their name on is excellent.
... thanks. I will give Wolfgang's Deep Glass Paint Sealant a try.

Actually, I do have a question - seems like there are lots of knowledgeable people here: For stock black paint I have been using a Meguiar's non-cleaner carnauba wax, as well as Turtle Wax Jet Black for in between waxes.

Is there a product (or 2) that would be better, but not necessarily a lot more work?

Tnx

I've done my share of car detailing, having owned several show quality rides. I was a big fan of meguiars until I was introduced to Croftgate. Their products are nothing short of fantastic. Not a big fan of waterless washes but their stuff works. The quick and slick and project X products are awsome and leave a deep deep shine. I encourage you guys to try it.

If its vivid black your talking about, the key with it is the less you touch it the better. Softest paint I have ever dealt with. My bike is vivid black and I took extreme care when dealing with it and still marred the paint. After I coated it, things changed for the better. Paint coatings are game changers

Yes, Vivid Black.
Paint coatings? Is this different from wax?

They are a LSp just like a wax, but characteristics are totally different. The following are what I prefer to use, many others out there. Total game changer in detailing.
22PLE
CQuartz UK
Optimum Gloss Coat
GTechniq
Many many more.
Most are either quartz or silica based.
These are not something you just slap on and think its good. They all have a process you must follow. If you screw up, you HAVE to polish it off. Do it right you will be rewarded with 2-5 yrs of protection on a vehicle kept outside.

Klasse is pretty hard to beat for giving good results with minimal effort. Be it the All-in-one or the glaze.

Neither causes problems with plastics.

overthehill, Sounds like you are looking for a AIO product. I don't use them very much at all, but the best AIO out there now is HD Speed
