So far i have only tried meguiars gold class Paste wax.... Its ok doesnt really last long. But looking for something better

Do you guy have a favorite for black cars? Liquid and paste wax please..... I was gonna try bf next.
 
You will like BF. The Midnight Sun looks awesome but by itself it won't give you the best durability. The BFWD will give you the durability and looks great too, but not quite as rich as the MS. All depends what you are willing to spend and how often you want to apply.
 
Ultimately the best shine (for any color) is going to come from having polished (level) paint. Things like micro scratches and contamination will diffuse reflected light and rob the paint of its potential shine. Once paint is polished level any wax is going to look great.

That said there are some waxes and paint sealants whose characteristics seem to bring out the best in dark finishes.

Pinnacle Souveran is famous for the liquid wet shine it produces and it looks particularly stunning on black.

The BLACKFIRE Wet Ice Over Fire (combination of sealant and wax) creates a rich 3 dimensional shine that really stands out on dark colors.

Dodo Juice's dark color range, Blue Velvet and Purple Haze, both look exceptional on dark paints, as does Dodo Juice Super Natural.

If you are are looking for a more cost effective approach it is really hard to beat Poor Boy's Natty's Blue Carnauba Paste.

Those are all excellent suggestions. Preparation of the paint is the key!

Now with that said...almost every LSP I have ever tried has a different "look".

A good question is: What are you looking for in a Last Step Product (LSP)?
Depth, warmth, longevity, durability, bright shine, hydrophobic properties etc.

* Most natural waxes do not last as long as sealants.
* Most sealants have a brighter shine than natural wax.

What is more important to you. Ease of use or durability?
In the end, it is the "look" that you like that matters.

How often do you want to "wax" your black vehicle?
Every couple of weeks or every couple of months.

For me, I like the BLACKFIRE Wet Ice Over Fire combo.
For others, Collinite 845 is a good winter wax that lasts.

Again IMHO - "Best waxes for super black" is user subjective.
Todd is good peeps and has made some excellent suggestions.
 
I love black cars! (especially black metallics)

Over the years I have tried a lot of LSPs on black vehicles.

The ones I have found that work the best and give a nice deep glow that makes the black color feel warm are these:

Pinnacle Souverän
Dodo Juice Blue Velvet
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant
Blackfire (either the wet ice over fire treatment or just the wet diamond sealant)
Chemical Guys Blacklight
Autofinesse Desire
Werkstat Carnauba prime / jet

These are the top products I have seen so far on black paint. All of them produce a beautiful look and in my opinion are the go to for black cars.

Another good choice, often overlooked, would be Collinite 915. It has the legendary Collinite durability, and adds a nice depth and that carnauba "glow", which would look really good on black. Won't break the budget, either.
 
Todds right.....BLACK must be corrected and has little to do with the wax you seal with. I could e-mail you pics of black cars till the cows come home. Its all about the correction, correction, correction. And your ability to do so. I endorse the newest Flex rotary. Learn it and keep it close to you. You have graduated to an actual detailer as you become proficient with it.
