Better get 1 of everything and lots of MF. :D

Seriously, though, for my black car, I'm able to get by with SSR1, ProPolish, PwC, S+W, SS+S and QD+ . This will let you wash, polish mild marring, protect it as well as allow you to do quick waxings without another polishing.
As well, the S+W/QD+ can keep it maintained between washes/waxes by removing bird bombs and fingerprints as well as adding some pop.
With regards to the tires/trim, there's BnB, Trim Restorer and Wheel Sealant.

If you are looking for more than this, EX, Natty Wax (red, white and blue), SSR 2, 2.5, S+G, QW+ EX-P, Black Hole, SS+W can all be added.

Also, a machine like the Porter Cable DA buffer (7424 or 7336) and various pads can make it go much faster/better.

How in depth are you planning to get? Are you wanting to spend hours a week agaonizing over every imperfection or do you prefer to polish a couple times a year and just slap another coat of wax on every so often? (Not such a good plan with a black car, IMO)

After PP, before Natty. (Looks very nice! :wink: )
Also, a little goes a long way, so don't plaster it on.
