Default Wax for black 2011 GT500

I just got a new 2011 black GT500 and was wondering what the best wax would be for my new car. Black shows everything and I would like a easy to use wax that will protect my car.

are you looking to hide light swirls and such?
if you dont want to buff the car out to remove imperfections..Get some poorboys Black hole glaze and do the car..it will clean and hide minor imperfections in the paint. Then you have to top it with a wax since the glaze if left exposed would wash off in like 2 car washes. I would top the glaze with something like PoorBoys natty blue if your looking for something that is a good value. If you want something a little better that last longer look at the Wolfgang fuzion 3oz mini jar. I use black hole and love it..Fuzion is the only wax I use on the Mustang.
Also i head that Autoglyme HD is really good..its on clearance at walmart for $20..i bought a jar of it but never used it.

I have always liked "liquid Glass" on black vehicles. You can find it at Pep Boys. You will probably get 100 different answers though.

i really like the poorboys black hole glaze as well. really great for a black car, gets a deep shine. i cover it with some carnuba wax, or paint sealant or both. i like to use a lot of layers.
and no, i am not wearing a dress in the 3rd pic, its just an illusion. lol.

The turtle wax black box. Never was a fan of turtle wax but this stuff blew me outta the water.

^^^^+1 to that, Its a pain to apply because its a three step process, but I think its worth the effort.

Megiuar's NXT or possibly Meguiar's Gold Class (most reflective wax they make...probably great for black).
