Do you detail often ?? Do you have a budget ?? Do you prefer a two step (sealant and wax topper) design ?? As an owner of several past and current black cars heres my take.
Cheap and Effective : NXT 2.0 (not extremely durable)
Middle range very effective: DP Max Wax, Nattys Red or Blue, Liquid Souveran
Best Looking : Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax
Sealant Alone : Four Star UPP or Wolfgang 3.0 Concours Sealant
Sealant/Wax Combo: Four Star or Wolfgang then Souveran or Fuzion
now with any car, especially black the biggest bang comes from polishing the paint and really amping up the gloss and reflection. So for best results you need to consider multiple steps and products for each. Make sure to learn great washing and drying techniques immediately as this will alleviate the need for many polishing sessions.
Wash --- Clay -- Polish --- and then Protect
