As a black Mustang owner, I can relate. I am a really good detailer and I think I can give you some sound advice.

Since the car sounds like a dd and you are short on time, I would definately suggest that you stick with polymers. They will hold-up better and the car will stay cleaner longer. Also, teflon based products are great too.

1 - Wash the car really well using some dish soap or a good cleaner such as Maguires. (don't use the dish soap between waxes, only when starting from scratch)

2 - Use Maguires Step 1 paint cleaner, followed by the Step 2 paint sealer. Simply follow the instructions. Use a nice micro-fiber towel for buffing and a good micro-fiber applicator if you can find one.

3 - Now, instead of buying Maguires Strep 3, use two coats of Tech Wax from Maguires.

4 - The car will now look amazing.

5 - In between waxes, you have a few options. The easiest is to dry the car with some Eagle One Wax as You Dry. Or, you guy use the Maguires NXT Booster Wax, but it is harder to apply. The Eagle one takes no additional time beyond just drying the car.

6 - Teflon based products will last longer than the NXT, but may not look quite as good.

I have many other methods, but this seems like a good option for you.
