For the quick shine, the Turtle Wax ICE is pretty good. It leaves the car looking black and shiny, and the polymers coat the paint pretty evenly, so that you can barely tell if you have swirl marks or superficial scratches.
Longterm, I'd still go with Zaino because it gives you a similar look, takes 3x the effort, and lasts probably 10x as long as the ICE.

Blackfire. Ignore the bumper, I dont mess with it but you can tell by the passanger door that this stuff works. I used one coat of Blackfire and Turbowax for protection. The wax is simply for paint protection, the polish gives you the shine and gloss finish.

As always I think it depends on your particular vehicle, your goals and perception of the results. I think you first have to figure out what you want to accomplish (i.e. protection, shine, ease of use, etc.). Once you've figured that out you'll have a more refined search process. Sealants typically protect a lot longer than waxes, while waxes generally offer superior depth and gloss. I like to have a good combination of both products with the sealant providing the enduring protection and the wax adding maximum gloss and depth. Next you'll look at brands, which there are a ton of good ones out there for. There are no right or wrong products just what works best for you.
Some of my favorite sealants are the Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket (FMJ) and Poorboy's World EX-P. The FMJ is my personal favorite and the EX-P is a more affordable but still outstanding option. For black paint I really like to layer the Poorboy's World Natty's Blue Paste Wax or the Souveran Pinnacle Paste Wax next. The Natty's Blue is affordable and really makes the paint "pop". However the Pinnacle wax is my absolute favorite, especially on black or red paint. The paint seems extremely "wet" and glossy after just one application.
These are some of my favorites that work really well together. Let me know if you would like more information about any of these products. Don't forget you can get 10% off all of these products when you use your My350Z discount code (10off350Z) at Detailed Image.

let me put it this way. .i live in NJ where the weather's not always nice. .and it's always dirt flying around on all the roads. .i just had a new bumper painted and already rocked up. . so far i like to use Meguir's # 7 polish. .cause it's easy to use by hand comes off easy and looks shiny as hell. .and the Swirls you get is caused by the swirling motion. .i was told to use #7 in a back n forth motion to apply and take off. .and so far car looks amazing. .i'll redo it on a nice day cause it's raining here and i'll take some pix. ..
