  use lint free clothes when you wash and polish may help

  i used to own a black colored car and to be frank, the maintenance of the paintwork can kill. only way i figured to reduce and eliminate swirl, water, scratch marks etc was to send ur car for polishing at regular intervals or invest in a tough sealant to protect the entire paint job.
  
  if u do it urself, it'll be quite impossible to keep up the work coz any minor scratch will magnify itself x100 against the black surface. having a good layer or wax to buffer against such scratches is a good idea but u'll have to wax ur car like almost every week..... dun go gym also can become body builder liao

  i think black car owners like myself can have potential to be waxing/polishing experts by the end of the year. ^_^.

  u can try cars international, i don't endorse them, coz i have mixed reviews from friends/collegues.
  
  for show room finish, u can try blue sparkle or glare. (google for their website)
