I have a black Cab and went through at least ten different waxes until I found Zaino. Do a search - I am not alone. It is worth the extra effort.

I have been using Klasse all in one polish and the sealer for 6 years now. I have a black F150, Acura MDX and a 911s. Look at www.properautocare.com I know it isn't a wax but you get a deep shine and it lasts for 6 to 9 months. One bottle has lasted for 4 years. Use the zip lock test. Wash and dry your car. Then using a zip lock type bag, put your hand in it and rub across paint. This will show you how much grit is still on your paint. Clay bar your car first. Then use the all in one. Test again with the zip lock bag. You will be amazed!!!!! I will then put up to 3 or 4 coats of the Sealer to top off the shine. Black is beautiful!

Cleaning with 3M hand glaze and wax with P21 - is the way to go.

I really like P21S. It doesn't smell, or stain rubber. It is easy to apply. I learned of it from John Paternak - PCA body paint and restoration guru.

Re: What's the best liquid wax/polish for a black car?
I've been using the P21s Cleaner and Wax. I use a rotary buffer on both application and wipe-off.
