I like gold class, but it's more work to remove than other waxes and I like low effort. The less effort, the more often I wax. So I use Nanowax which IMO produces a higher shine and also fills swirls really well. It's carnuaba based, and very easy to wipe off. You can get it any any auto parts store.

meguiars NXT wax is good. i use meguairs sealant 21 then the nxt wax on black cars...it produces a very nice shine.
i normally buff the sealant in at 1400rpms with a black foam pad then use a DA polisher for the NXT wax
do you have a buffer or a DA/orbital?
a good clay job then that combo above works wonders on black and red cars

the nxt wax comes with a hand applicator. i just use machines because it doesnt take as long.
you can hand apply the sealant but its more effective to use a da or a machine buffer

i have used griots,pinnacle,menzerna, and zaino
I am currently using griots i use a random orbital to apply on my vehicles.
waxing is just the half of it, alot of people dont know how to correctly wash and dry a car.

Zaino is great, I've used it for years, but lately haven't had the energy. It's just too damn much work, and takes all weekend. I like a good wax that only takes 15 minutes. Then I don't feel reluctant to clean and wax my car every week.

Off the shelf Id go with Meguire's NTX tech wax. I use it on alot of my customers cars, it last for a looong time and has great depth and shine.. As somebody else said there is Natty's Paste Wax from poorboys which is a great wax aswell last for a long time and adds alot of depth to the paint. Zaino is another way to go aswell. Just gotta find out which one you like and works best for you... Good luck
