    Zaino Z5 gets my vote.

    But then there are a lot of great products out there. One of the more popular ones on here and Autopia are BFWD, JS, Klasse, Jetworks and some peole even like Rejex.

    As far as nuba products go a reasonably priced durable wax is M16 or Collonite. I also like SV Concorso and some of the Zymols etc but they are on the pricey side.

    Point being there are many choices and everybody seems to have their favorites. Try a few and make your own decision.

    Tbh, its all down to preference but I do like dodo rainforest rub or rubbishboys oe waxes on black after preparing with dodo lime prime.
    Zymol carbon s a good one but slightly pricey compared to the latter 2 I mentioned.

    if you dont mind spending alittle extra.id bo with swissvax (concorso) great durabilty/ leaves an awesome slick glossy look. easy as heck to remove. now if you want the same look with shorter durability. SOUVERAN is the way to go . it just doesnt last more then a couple weeks on a daily driver,. but takes only minutes to apply and is a joy to use.

    Collinite 915. Lasts 4-6 months. The difference in waxes is so minuscule you couldn't justify the price.

    Couldn't agree more. It's all in the prep!

    once you've prep'd, you can go two ways here;

    mirror like reflections in a sealant like BF WD, Menz Power Lock, Zaino etc

    or a deep warm real black look with a high montan wax carnauba wax like Lusso Oro, Dodo Purple Haze (or even CK CMW)

    being black your can can use an extra "jeweling" step in polishing. Then Menzerna Power Lock would be my choice of a sealant, topped with SV Concorso...depending how deep are your pockets, you can also consider Zymol Vintage for an ultimate deep wet glossy finish...

    I've been testing a bunch of combinations and my vote goes to Power Lock + Souveran.

    +2 that looks like a great combo

    you get the durability of a sealant with the warmth/depth of a carnauba

    i gotta try my souveran
