I used both Mothers and Meguires on my last black car.. They both do a really good job.

My vote goes to S100 paste wax. Best I have ever used.

Whatever you do, do NOT buff that car without prepping it first. If you take a buffer to a painted car that isn't first prepped, you will swirl it to heck. To properly prep it, buy a meguiars clay bar, and rub down the entire car first, to remove the dirt embeded in the clearcoat. Regular washing will not remove this. When you do this, make sure to keep the bar lubed with water and/or a light soap. Then, wipe down the entire car with a clean rag. Not only will this remove the dirt, but it will also leave a nice smooth finish. Now, you are ready for wax/buffing. I strongly recommend AGAINST paste wax. It is about the worst thing you can use. Here is why:
When you put a coat of wax on your car, it looks nice. As soon as you pull that car into the sunlight, especially black, the wax will begin to melt, much like a candle with a flame. You wont see it melting, but it softens. Then, when you take it down the road, bugs and dirt stick to the wax, giving you one heck of a nice sandpaper feel to your car. Not to mention, that your car will begin to look dull after a couple of weeks. This is because the wax is starting to haze over. IF you really want to remove the old wax, to get down to the clear coat again, use a rag with laquer thinner, or, if you are afraid of using it, go to walmart and buy the wax remover (which is the same thing) and wipe down the entire car. This will remove all wax and other contaminants. This is what we do with cars every day at my detail shop. The only caution is not to scrub vinyl or emblems with laquer thinner. This will remove or discolor them. Laquer thinner is safe on all paints, except those that are laquer based, which were stopped being used about 30 years ago.
My suggestion for waxing: Buy the meguires mist and shine, or other brands of the same liquid spray wax. This will give a nice shine, and will not collect the dirt and debris as easily as paste wax. You dont really need to buff the wax onto the car. A little elbow grease will work great, and if you do it by hand, you cant put swirl marks in the paint!!!
