one is not 'better" than the other.
How 'bout if we do this: How often do you wish to "wax"?

Klasse and Zaino are two excellent products that come to mind that should be able to provide 4 months longevity...perhaps more depending on local climate and your weekly maintainence routine.

Agreed, although i have never used Z, i can vouch for Klasse, and less steps also.....Black may be a little tricky, as always, no matter what your using. Waxes vs. sealants, they provide protection, wax to a lesser degree. Some believe wax is a little cleaner looking, while synthetics may be a little more sterile. My thoughts and experiences differ greatly amongst that. Its my belief synthetics (the good ones) provide every bit as much a stunning visual end result as any wax i have used. Klasse, Blackfire, Platinum, EX (50/50), Wolfgang, IMO, all provide exceptional qualities.

For ease of use: Klasse, Poorboy's EX-P, Wolfgang. Klasse works both in light cleaning of micro-marring and light swirls (AIO) then VERY light coat of Klasse SG.
Poorboys EX-P is REALLY easy on and off. For a warmer look, use Poorboys EX (sealant AND carnuba)
Wolfgang also easy on/off. Warm look of carnuba as well.
Zaino is one of the clearest sealants, but it does take more time to apply. Most of your time will be in getting the finish perfect as Zaino will not hide much of anything except the Z5 has some light hiding ability whereas Z2 is pure sealant. It needs a very clean surface to bond to to be effective. No oils or fillers. It also needs a primer Z1 or a catalyst (ZFX) to mix up with the Z5/Z2 which I highly recommend.
Some sealants can also be "layered" to add more protection and shine. The do sometimes refer to the shine as steril or plastic looking.
Once you pick a sealant, you can top it with a carnuba wax to gain more of a deeper wet look and add a sacrificial layer by adding the wax over the sealant.
It all depends on the look you are after. For a very high shine/reflective look, then a sealant is for you. If you want a deeper wet 3D look, then a good carnuba, or a combo of both!

I would add Einszett products to the mix. Easy to use and great durability.
