Any quality sealant would work. The AIO already leaves some sealant behind, but it doesn't hurt to add another layer.

Depending on what your after (and price) there are plenty of quality sealants in spray or thicker liquid form available. I'd go to some place like Detailer's Domain (featured here) or Autogeek and see what sounds good.
