    Word is Ultimate Wax does a real nice job on black. Keep in mind polish plays a huge factor in making the paint look deep, glossy, etc... May want to use Ultimate Polish then Ultimate Wax for the deepest, clearest look possible
    Always searching for the best.... Keep it country!

    2nd the Ultimate wax, plus nice durability. GC + is nice too, but won't last as long.

    Prep work is important... claying, clean/polish.. then a good wax.

    Re: which wax

    Its kinda like asking everyone at the bar what their favorite beer is

    some people like different beers
    there are different beers for different price ranges
    some have certain things that other ones dont

    the same applies to waxes/sealants

    I would suggest starting with something like Ultimate Wax

    I have a dark gray 2010 fusion and I used M83, M09, M26 when I first got it. Really made it look deep and wet. With good washing technique and M26 every 4 months or so (clay when needed), it still looks great.

    As Murr said above...PREP is the secret.

    The final 'wax' main job is to protect the finish. Yes, there is some gloss enhancement, but think protection first. The 'wax' is just the frosting on the cake.
