I'm doing my car (black) today with Pinnacle goodies. I haven't even hit it with the wax yet and OMG 
NOTHING compares to Pinnacle.
Used:
Step 1: 3M Wax Remover (to get the crap the dealer put on off the car and clean the paint.)
Step 2: Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Mark Remover
Step 3: Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish
Step 4: Pinnacle Souverän Paste Wax
Steps 1 & 4 are done by hand, steps 2 & 3 are done with the porter cable and a medium pad.
Pinnacle stuff is VERY expensive (can of wax is $95.00) but worth the money. I was first introduced to Pinnacle products by the BMW dealer back when I bought my M3. They had a Z8 they did and I was like
I'll post pics when I'm done later today. If you want to take a look at Pinnacle visit www.pinnaclewax.com
There is nothing better, especially on black. The wax makes the paint appear infinitely deep and the wet look doesn't go away. I only had to wax my M3 once every 6 months and it looked like I just waxed it car wash after car wash. This is my first time doing the C63. The dealer did a number on the swirl marks so I haven't bothered until now because I haven't had time to spend a full day on it.

Here's a teaser pic... lol. I just did the trunk lid (all of it.) But, didn't do the rear bumper yet. Just the trunk lid. This is one coat of wax. Note there is some residue because I haven't done the final polish. I just applied the wax, and quickly removed it right afterwards. My car doesn't have any scratches on it so if you see any white like on the bottom of the trunk lid by the plate, its left over wax I'll get after I'm done waxing the whole car.
According to the directions on the wax, you do one coat, then wait 30 days and apply another, the paint will get even deeper but you aren't supposed to rub it out or polish in between coats. I never got a chance to do a second coat on my M3 because I got in an accident and the car was destroyed. lol But, after talking with Pinnacle, if you apply the wax, and leave it on the car for a full 72 hours so the paint absorbs all the oils in the wax, a second coat in 30 days isn't necessary. I just can't go 72 hours without driving my car.
