Zaino, but it's not for everyone. Several steps and the temp/humidity need to be in range. Results make it all worthwhile though, especially on a black finish.

Here's a Z06 I did with Wolfgang (fully polished before application):





Here is a black Vert I did with Z2 (older version):





Here is a C6 I did with Z2 Pro and Z8:





I've got lots more black cars, too, if you're interested.

The key is proper prep work. After that, anything is going to look good.

Default Definetly ZAINO

And it is easy... I can Zaino my vette in under 30 minutes. My C3 in the picture only has 1 coat of Zaino on it, I just got done testing another product on it and just went back to Zaino when I took that picture. I could not own black without Zaino.

My choice Rejex, have used on my triple black 1966 convertable & is great >>>>>> over the 11 years of maintaining my C2 have tried everthing..nothing is easer to use & although pollen season is over its my opinion that it will help with pollen as it leaves such a slippery ,nothing sticks ( no bird poop yet ).......sold my C5 a couple months a go but belive rejex will help with the dust that acumulates around the tail light area.........just the Dogs 2 cents............Woof

I prefer Zaino's, but it is a pain in the **** to get. I have also used NXT with very good results. I especially like the NXT Detailing Spray. It is less expensive than the Zaino's detailing spray and is available at Auto Zone, rather than by mail.

I wish Zaino's had a distributor in Lafayette.

NXT works for me. Easier than Zaino and the results are awesome.

Zaino.

It didn't seem all that hard to use.

Four Starr UPP. Slicker finish than any mentioned above, easier to put on and take off (no mixing / no wait) , and often mistaken for other sealants listed above. Pinnacle Souveran would be my carnuba choice for winter and cooler months.

I don't own a black vette and I use Rejex only on my Mag Red C6 but in my opinion black vette owners love seeing the mirror reflection that only Zaino can only give it.
If you want a wet or deep warm look I would choose something else.
