This is a sore subject that affected us personally (and financially). Done!

I tried Zymol 10 years ago, didn't see what the fuss was about and haven't used it since.
I like the results on my car from P21S and RejeX. For the latest detailing, I couldn't decide which one to use so I went with both. RejeX first, waited 24 hours and followed up with P21S. She looks great. FWIW, here is a brief write-up on carnauba wax and polymer sealants.

I have a friend in S. FL. with a Lapis Blue 996 (a dark blue) and his car looks terrific from using Zaino. I think any of the suggestions you've been given here would be good choices.

I wouldn't go so far as to say Zymol "sucks", but I would agree it doesn't live up to the hype. It's not really hyped much anymore as there are many other products that are cheaper and better these days.
I used to be a Zaino guy. I found that Zaino and other sealants tend to look plasticky, like the car has a plastic coating. They're also too reflective for my taste. I prefer depth to reflectivity, and carnauba waxes excel at depth, especially on black cars! P21S Concours Carnauba or 100% are my favorites, though Collinite waxes are very good too.

I think with a black car, you may noticed the 1% difference between some of the waxes mentioned. Other colors are not as fussy. Maintaining a perfect black finish puts you in the quest for perfection all the time. Wait until tree pollen season. 
Just keep stock in detail spray and always keep some and a towel in the trunk of the car.

I thought Griots's polish was fairly good, I like the speed shine and spray on wax too..the best of show wax is another story...really a PITA to remove and IMO does not make the black cars "POP"
Ziano is what I found to make it POP
and FWIW it takes like "forever" to do...I was growing impatient and the final step felt like I wasnt even doing anything....it was SOOO thin, so hard to tell what was going on, wait wait wait and easy to remove...then all of the sudden it just went POW! ! ! !
I was absolutely blown away!
these are "as shot" untouched

Ours clearly reads as follows.......
Suck- Something or SOMEONE who wines and dines you, and convinces you to leave a good, high paying job to work for him and then lies, cheats and misrepresents everything you thought to be true.

JoAnne, you scare me sometimes...
Oh, Griot's polishes and Meguiars wax made a big improvement on my 914...which was nothing better than spider webs and scratches when I bought it.

I guess it really depends on whose dictionary the definition of "suck" is read from!
