You have to polish the paint before you get the best results from ANY wax. A true detailer will tell you 90% of the end result comes from the prep,before you apply the final lsp.
But a very good not to expensive lsp for black would be Souverign & Blackfire midnight sun.Both are nubas.

There is no best. It's just personal preference.
Prep the surface properly, maintain a good process, and anything is going to look nice.
I prefer Zaino Z5 Pro for a sealant and Pinnacle Souveran for a carnauba wax.

Route 66 Exotic Coatings worked great on my black Camaro. check them out at www.rt66wax.com and if you see their other site you'll see the cars they use it on at www.rt66motorsports.com

Go to your local autoparts store and pick up a box of this stuff called "black box" It comes with 4 bottles of wax in 4 different steps. Get a orbital low speed buffer also if you dont already have one. The results are AMAZING.

Turtle Wax "Black Box". $20 at your local parts store. 2-step wax with pre-wax cleaner, 2 bottles of black spray detailer and black carnuba wax. I bought it to see the result on the nose of my Z28. Turned it from faded black to rich and deep. I applied the pre cleaner with an orbital and went through 4 microfibers to wipe it all off. Turned the cloths black. I used Zymol as the final wax/sealer

Polish is the thing hardest to chose for black cars, we detail with "high tech" wax by meguiars, but if you want a good shine, polish with any swirl free polish, if not and your not an experienced detailer... your gunna get pissed at those swirl marks! Sorry I went from wax to polish but if you want it lookin best try it out!

prep and care is 90% like was mentioned. I prefere zaino as a sealent but polishing it once or twice a year is what makes it look so nice. Once you get a few layers of z-5 you can start using Z-2 or a Carnuba wax. I have 95,000 miles on the car and only use Zaino twice a year but Z-2, Z-8or Carnuba every once in awhile for the shine. You can do this because polymer sealents don't wear or wash away like Carnuba.
