Black cars do indeed need some additional care but look so darn good looking when kept up right. The first thing is to understand the many different products and that unfortunately not all products are exactly as described, some use the description to try and stand out amongst very similar products.
Wax -- You have products that protect the paint and the work you have done to clean and polish paint. Waxes can be traditional (often carnauba based) or synthetic. Some waxes are AIO (All in One) and have cleaners and polishes all in one bottle.
Polishes -- A true polish is abrasive and helps to abrade the surface and remove marring, swirls, and imperfections. Some product use this term lightly when they really are nothing more than a synthetic wax.
In order to keep a black car up ... you are best to study each area of car care.
Wash --------) Clay -----------) Clean and Polish ----------) Protect
There is no best products but often very good products in each area above. The challenge is often that what you like I might not like and vice versa. No one wax is going to be the best, however many products exist that were designed for black paints. Pinnacle Souveran, Blackfire BlackWax, Dodo Juice are a couple nice ones. I would offer that if you clean and polish paint properly which brings out gloss and reflection, you could use a relatively cheap wax and often stellar results. (prep is key)

i wash with the two bucket method using Optimum no rinse, then i use Klasse all in one, then finish using Pinnnacle Carnuba and Sovereign wax mix. Great results. Triple black C6 coupe
I have been asked by some the benefits of a color charged wax like Blackfire's BlackIce. Nick has been nice enough to put the Blackfire Line on sale this weekend and offering 5.00 shipping in Continental US. This might be the time to try this product, or perhaps another Blackfire hit, Midnight Sun Paste Wax.
All true but in my experience the turtle wax jet black and black Magic hides the scratches swirl marks .
If your car is clean I think they all work.
It hides the deep scratches my porta cable will not get out .

But i'm always open to do the options
The challenge to waxes with fillers that hide swirls and marring, its gone at the first wash. So .. are the swirls and scratches felt by your fingernail ?? If not, your Porter Cable should be able to remove or reduce them. It really comes down to the correct polishes, speed, pressure, and pads. I have found most black GM vehicles respond extremely well to two step polishes like those from Megs, Menzerna, and Wolfgang. The PC works best with a 5 inch backing plate and 5.5 inch pads. (I like Hydro-techs)

Menzerna works perfectly on Black Corvettes using 5.5" Lake Country pads.
