You can choose something like ultimate wax, NXT or the new ultimate fast finish for a sealant.

I assume you used a natural wax to protect your paint after full detail. Therefore your options are somehow limited now. Usually a layer of sealant/synthetic wax is put first and then a layer of natural wax on top of it. That way the advantage of long lasting protection, offered by sealants, is kept as a base product.

or am i better of just using a quick detalaier or quick wax or fast finish or will one of these not work well on wax etc...

Quick wax, Ultimate Fast Finish or another layer of natural wax would all work just fine.
Try to maintain your car's paint using gentle shampoo, like Gold Class Shampoo and Conditioner or Ultimate Wash & Wax, quick detailers between car washes to remove light dust, and spray waxes after each car wash, on dry vehicle, like Ultimate Quik Wax.

Natural waxes, based on carnauba, give more natural, warm and glossy look. Synthetic waxes/sealants darken the paint color and offer longer lasting protection. Meguiar's has also hybrid waxes in its line of products, like M26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax, which offer best of both types of waxes.

Ultimate Fast Finish can be used on top of any wax/sealant. It locks it and offers long protection period.

From my experience - I really like NxT Tech Wax 2.0 on silver paint.
But M26 or Ultimate Wax will leave surface glossy and well protected too.

Sorry, I forgot to mention: it's recommended to wait 12-24 hours after wax/sealant application before using Ultimate Fast Finish on top of it.
It's polymer-based product.

And vice-versa, 12-24 hours after using Fast Finish before waxing.
