Default best wax for black lx470?

i wanted to know what is the best wax that i could use and buy from any store such as auto barn or pep boys or any other store.... i heard that the zaino's was good but i cant buy that off from online, and plus i want a wax that gives my black lx470 a wet watery look to it (real Shiney and glossy) and what is the best spray that makes your tires look real wet... and is long lasting

thanks

More important than the kind of wax used is the proper surface preparation to get the look you want. Wash, clay bar and polish the surface first to remove contaminants and swirls, scratches and cobwebs. Then a sealant and/or wax will give you the show car look you desire. Pinnacle Souveran or Poorboy's Natty's Blue are supposed to be excellent choices for black or dark colored cars.

I like Meguiar's NXT wax on black. It gives a very deep wet look and is readily available nearly everywhere. It is very easy to use. I follow up after every other car wash with NXT Booster Spray wax and my vehicles look freshly detailed for 6 months or so. Here are two pictures of a Black Highlander for reference. The tires are done in Meguiar's NXT Insane Shine.

FWIW, NXT Tech Wax is the #1 selling wax in North America.
