Menzerna Powerlock is very nice, use it ALL the time when I detail.

Black Fire Wet Diamond is also a good choice.

BFWD seems to be preferred on dark colors, where Powerlock does well on lighter colors. I usually top my sealants with a wax to shift the finish to what I want and provide a touch longer life to the sealant.

I've got the Menzerna , I have not used it yet though,lol. Hope to start on it in the next few days. Everything I read on it seemed to indicate that it is a top notch formulation, will be using it with their micropolish.

It really is. I used it on all my details last year and very pleased with it.

I use a 3 steps for my LSP and have a few cars that have gone over 6mths without a refresh Clients are happy and coming back this year for another round...

After polishing, 50/50 Isoprop 90%/distilled water wipe down, application of Prima Amigo (makes the paint POP!), Menzerna Powerlock letting it sit for 45mins, the topping with AutoGlym HD to add some depth. Great combo and lasting results!

I have always been using the Powerlock, I would recommend that. Its easy to apply, I apply it with a G110, and then once it dries. Honestly its like just wipinga clean car off.

So i would also say Menzerna PowerLock.

I used KLasse and now use Blackfire Wet Diamond All Paint Protection which I like better. I follow up with their ivory carnauba for a show car finish.

Thanks for the help, placed an order for Blackfire Wet Diamond after reading lots of positive things about. Will post a review when I use it in a couple of weeks.

I really like Blackfire Wet Diamond on my black S2K. It gives a great reflective, wet look and leaves the paint slick. I applied two coats in late October. The car has been washed multiple times, and the sealant is still protecting. The car is garaged, though, so it's not exposed to the elements 24/7. I have also applied Midnight Sun on top of BFWD (the fire & ice look). I honestly cannot say that I can see a difference, but I can say that the car received unsolicited praise from someone while it was parked in the drugstore parking lot.

I have not tried either the Wolfgang of the Menzerna Powerlock, but have read many positive reviews about the products.

Folks who have light colored cars should consider giving Finish Kare 1000p a try. It has its own signature look, and durability is second to none. I have never tried it on my black car. And you can't beat the price.
