Granted, you won't get the slickness with a sealant that you get with Nuba so there are tradeoffs if you are touching your paint and expect sl1ck.

If you have not tried it yet, try some variant of a sealant. You will be amazed on the difference it makes IMO. I don't care for the looks, but there is noticable *hardness* I have noticed it has added to soft Paint.
Yeah, the Zymol can be sticky stuff.

I found the ONLY way to apply it, is to NEVER put more on the applicator
then the friction generated heat can melt in around 5 seconds. It's such a small amount that I can wax the ENTIRE X with just over a 1/2 ounce of product. Try using much more and you end up "chasing the glop".

Found that if the glopping starts, put down the applicator and use your hands to spread out over more surface area (the additional heat from hands will actually melt the carnuba, like chocolate). Crazy stuff to work with.

I've avoided the sealants because some actually need to be wet sanded to remove if it's done wrong.
