I put Optimum Gloss coat on a new white car a few months ago. I want to top it with a sealant. I do not want carnuaba because I am concerned about staining trim as it would look really bad on a white car. The gloss coat is holding up well, I just want to give it a little more "Pop" and slickness. I thought about opti-seal but I don't think it will give me the slickness I want. I am considering Menzerna(Jascar) Power Lock, WDGPS and Duragloss 111. Which one would you choose or please feel free to suggest another. Do any of these have any abrasives or cleaners in them, as I need a pure sealant.
OK, Coating is on a few months , Now which............

If you must top it, Optimum Opti Seal without a doubt. Stay within Optimum`s synergy. Just as if I would only recommend topping CQuartz Classic or UK with Reload or Hydr02.

I would say to leave gloss coat alone. If you wish to top it go with one of these
Optimum Opti-Glass Coating, windshield coating, windshield coating to prevent chips
Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer Quick Detail Spray, instant detail spray, spray detailer, waterless wash, opt quick detailer
Optimum Car Wax is a spray wax made with real carnauba and synthetic paint sealants for protection & shine! high-grade carnauba wax and silicone
Nothing is going to stick to gloss coat that long anyway.
I'm going to post this based on what Yvan has posted about gloss coat. If you are seeing the beading and sheeting being affected by contaminants just do a decon wash with an iron remover. That should restore it.
You could also do this if you wish to clay to remove surface contaminants.

Great suggestions so far. Opti-Seal is addictive to work with, but if you're looking for that extra slickness then the Optimum Car Wax is noticeably slicker. OCW is a carnauba polymer mix in a spray form, you're not going to see any trim staining whatsoever. Totally forgot to add Optimum Instant Detailer to the last order, always hear great reviews for it.
If you are interested in a great shine, why not find a great carnuba wax that you like? Apply it as often as you like, no need for the additional protection of a sealant (you're paint is already protected).
I'd also use a "wax as you dry" product to get a quick boost of slickness and shine.
