I've had good luck with Blackfire Wet Diamond on black paint. Of course you have to wash and prep the paint correctly for it to really pay off.
I also use the Klasse product mentioned in this thread to seal headlights/tailights/glass.

Modern cars don't need wax? Oh the horrible advice people on this website give.
My acura is 9 years old and the paint is in better shape then when I bought it thanks to Zaino. It probably has over 25 coats of polish on it. Every time it rains I can't find a car that beads better than it.

Body shops and dealerships around here use Astro Shield. Its available at most auto parts stores

I use 4 Star Ultimate Paint Protection applied with a porter cable after a wash and clay bar. Once or twice a year I'll use Poor Boy's World Polish with Sealant with a medium/light cutting pad and then a coat or two of the four star after that.
2 bucket method with grit guard always...and a foam gun w/ Meguiars Gold Class soap if it's really dirty.
ETA: Blackfire posted above is supposed to work wonders on black vehicles, but I'd recommend a porter cable for application.

Another thing: Klasse and Wolfgang are some of the best products, but as mentioned, they require a 12 hour shaded curing process and multiple coats. Since I normally don't have 12 hours to be vehicless and/or a shades area I typically gravitate toward Poor Boy's World's products bc they can be applied in direct sunlight (though not recommended for optimal results) and can normally be topped with another product in 3 to 4 hours or less...sometimes immediately.

Mothers wash, and Mothers Wax are the only products I use.

Ignore this.
I use Collinite 845. It's very durable.

Clear coat failure.

I have never waxed a car.

I have our two black vehicles detailed once every year to year and a half just to get scratches and stuff out. No clue what that guy uses but damn they come back looking brand new.
For weekly washes I use Showroom Shine, started getting it from the dealership I worked at, now I just order it online.
