Turtle wax kit for Black Cars is good for black cars. 2 bottles pre wax and carnuba wax, 2 bottles of black spray detailer. can be found at Walmart for like 23 dollars
Turtle wax Ice synthetic clear is also good for any colour and can be used in the sun, does a nice job on black also and leaves no white residue, safe for all rubber and plastics.
Don't forget the micro fiber clothes and lots of them.

I've tried most of the turtle wax kits and their black car kit works pretty well but the downside is it makes the microfiber you buff off with very nasty looking and not as easy to apply and buff off as some others.
Check out what the professional detailers are using. They've usually experienced different products and know what works best.
I use Meguiars Hi-Tech Yellow Wax. It's part of their professional series and is carnauba based but it really brings out the shine and a little goes a long way. I've had my current bottle for almost a year now and I wax the car every 2-4 weeks. You can apply it with an orbital or by hand and the most important thing is it comes off very easily. It's also pretty durable and I can always see water beading off my car when I wash it.
Just something to consider, I usually put a layer of sealant on before the wax for some extra protection. Chemical guys is another company that makes great products.
