Zaino Z8 Grand Finale. Very slippery surface when you use this and a wet looking shine.

why slickest, if I may ask ??? Often times product slickness is due to silicones which aren't always the best ingredient to use on paint. Perhaps you are looking more for extreme gloss ?? Cleaning ability ??? Anti-static ability ??? Lack of streaking ??? Long term protection ??? Ease of application ???

Many products exist ...slickness often can also be attributed to properly clayed and polished paint meaning no contaminants to grip or grab. The sealant, coating, and/or spray will just add to it then.

Just curious if you are using a buffer or not? I tried to detail mine by hand and had no luck getting scratches and such out. After buffing she felt like a baby's butt.

Perhaps I can help and sorry in advance if I misunderstood from above ... there is some overlap here with a Cleaner Wax (AIO) and a polish. A cleaner wax is an All-In-One product with cleaners, polishing agents, and protection in one product. It is often used by those wanting a one step product. A polish, at least by definition, is an abrasive polish with no protection. Polishes are used to abrade the surface to remove marring, swirls, and prep for a wax.

Now I will admit these terms are sometimes used openly to try and make a product stand out.

What I would suggest is changing up your process a bit. Wash, Clay, Polish or Cleanse Paint, and then protect. If you are looking for a slick feeling paint sealant and it doesn't have to be a brand name, look to a product called Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection. If you do a search on any detailing forum you will find that almost everyone that has used it is enamored with it. Its easy to apply, easy to remove, protects very well, looks gorgeous, and slick. Then each week or so when you wash, consider using a spray wax booster like Prima Hydro Max or McKee's 37 Fast Wax. Duragloss Aquawax is equally as impressive.

Let me know if I can help more ....
