While "best" somewhat subjective, one of the most popular waxes/polishes here is Zaino. Check out http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc

Brilliant shine, lasts a long time, easy to apply and remove. IMO, the best thing I've ever used.

Keep in mind that "wax" is only part of the car care picture. Prep work like "claybar" is important as well as how you wash and dry your car. Check out http://autopia.org - it has great info on auto detailing. Sign up and download their free eBook "The Autopia Guide to Detailing" - it will teach you everything you need to know about taking care of your Z. That and the posts' you'll find in this forum.

There are so many different waxes out there to try. The best thing is to find something you like and stick with it. It depends if you like a sealant look or more depth with a carnuaba.

Good sealants:

Megs NXT Tech Wax
Poorboys EXP
Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection

Great carnuabas

Poorboys Nattys
Pinnacle Souveran
S100 or P21S

All of the above are very easy to use and give a great look.

Always remember to purchase some good quality micro fiber or waffle weave towels for polishing and drying.

This might come as a surprise, but this entire forum is about keeping your 350Z looking good. Read the wax threads and learn.

depends on the color of your car and the amount of work you're willing to do. Most people on this site will tell you to go with zaino, but there is stuff out there that is better.
