Actually had this discussion with my detailer. I chose UKquartz with the same thoughts. It is pretty hydrophobic, but not slick to the touch. Sealants and other waxes will not stay on for more than a week or two at best, less if it rains.

Great protection, but I miss the slick feeling at times. Like M235 mentions, just apply a top coat of some sort and it will glow - but don't expect it to last all summer without reapplying.

Looking good though!
