I use:
Auto Glym Bodywork Shampoo
Meguairs Synthetic Wash Mit
Auto Glym Synthetic Chamois
I find real leather ones go hard and crispy.

have been looking at them micro fibre drying towels, are they good to use for the whole car or do them get too wet after a bit? I have everything else just need something new to dry the car and some more wax

I have one of the large ones from cleanyourcar.co.uk
Does the whole of my car no problems
Recomend colonite wax too, comes up well and is very durable. However someone may be able to recomend something a bit more specific for black

Like Gavin said, get a Miracle Dryer towel, they're fantastic. I can dry the whole of my car without wringing it out once.
You should definitely clay it first as it will make a world of difference if it hasn't been done before.
I bought a panel pot of Dodo Juice Purple Haze which is a soft wax for dark colours and it came out brilliantly. Like this, in fact:
