Mine is also black and I was using Zaino which I had been using on my Corvette for years and you get an excellent deep, long lasting shine. Last year I switched to all Mequiar's products. January each year, I clay bar then follow with Mequiar's Ultamate paste wax. I follow every wash with their Ultimate spray wax (instead of their detailer). Mine is daily driver and it stays looking great all year. I also travel the interstate a lot and pick up all kinds of bugs and they pretty much wipe right off when I wash it.
