Which Wax

Use a wax with with about 30% Natural Carnuba.
Carnuba seals the pores in the paint/finish. Looks great and is easy to install. Layers is so fine you are not looking through a wax finish. Is resistant to oils, acids, water, etc. Will last 9 months and is easy to remove with any soap, detergent, or polish for reapplication for the next season.
I have my brands, but look for about 30% Carnuba for a quality wax. Some brands add hardeners to extend the life or add some protection from washing, but I am not a fan due to they fact that they often slightly dull the finished and many break down in UV faster than natural carnuba.

I'm a big fan of carnuba waxes also, and normally use Maguires. A friend has tried to convert me to some synthetic junk he uses, and while I have to admit that it seems to work, carnuba is just so much nicer to work with. I don't care if it doesn't last 8 months, because I like detailing the bike.

Polish
I've been using Zaino on mine since it was new. I do a lot of night riding through a swamp, so bugs are terrible. When I get home on work nights, I just wipe off the bugs with a damp towel and do a full wash on the weekends. Zaino will make your black will look incredible! Very easy on and off also.
