Grill Wipes--$2.99 package of 6 at Home Depot or most other places that have grill accessories.
The grate on a Weber "Q" is not seasoned very well and I have noticed that as mine ages (almost 4 years old) stuff sticks less and less.

Two things you might try are cooking oil on a paper towel and/or brush the oil on the food. Excessive amounts of salt and sugar will cause food to stick as well.
If you like a really hot fire, try the crosshatch method. Get the grate hot, rub with cooking oil on a paper towel and immediately put on the food. Wait a few seconds and turn the food 90 degrees. Leaves nice grill marks and sticks less as well.

The Key to Grilling is a hot, hot, hot, grill, A very hot grill is a happy grill, and make sure the grates are very clean before you put your food on...use a very good grill brush. then lightly rub grill with some oil on a paper towel. THE ROAD CHEF

if the food is sticking, it may just be that you need to give it more time before you flip.
when im grilling, the meat will usually free itself once it's sealed.

The cooking BBQ shows on TV use a papertowel dipped into vegetable oil and using tongs wipe down the grill, this acutually covers it better than the spray.
BTW:
This BBQ TV show is THE BEST I've found, a must for obsessed BBQ'ing RV'ers.

I couldn't agree more. Raichlen's rules: 1) Keep it hot, 2) Keep it clean, and 3) keep it oiled. Steve has revolutionized my BBQing at home and on the road. I'm tempted to bail all my camping stoves and get that portable Webber.

While certainly oiling is necessary I agree with fishguy, you may need to just give it more time.
The grill needs enough time to do its job and sear that meat, fish or fowl. If not, it's much more likely to stick.
