you will need to find a swirl remover to get does swirls out!!!! (polish your car) the wax are just going to cover the swirls but after you wash it they will apear again, poeple who have black cars always have to take good care because the paint is easy to get and scratch or swirl!!! (please wax them)
if you want to find out about waxes go to autogeek.net to the wax section and there you can find people rating about waxes, the best waxes and tips tooo!!!

Wax can't remove scratches or swirls. It can only hide them (which is usually doesn't even do too effectively), so at some point you should try to remove them with a paint cleaner.
I won't get into all the steps or anything here.
However, for wax, I also recommend Meguiar's products. I've used things that cost many times more money, but Meguiar's is still as good or better, from my experience.
NXT 2.0 and Gold Class from Meguiar's are both good. For a bit longer longevity and the best protection in their line, NXT 2.0 is great. I sometimes use Gold Class to change it up.
Again, I've used imported and very expensive products, and Meguiar's keeps impressing me. Their forum is a real treat too.

If you want a store-bought wax, use Meguiar's Gold Class. It works well on dark cars. You may want to invest in a Porter Cable or Ultimate Detailer polisher. They are true random orbit polishers. After you wax, go over the entire car with a dry microfiber bonnet on the polisher. I used to show a black car that had 6 year-old paint on it and there were no swirls. People always asked if I just had it painted.

You need to start two bucket method washing your car Then a good pass over with detailer spray and a good clay bar and get a kit put together by Greg with a porter cable orbital and the full line of menzerna products,from intensive to final, a good glaze and a coat of FMJ followed by a coat or two of Caranuba wax.Using this process will give your black car a show car shine and remove the swirls and keep them removed.He will also suggest what pad to use with each stage.
Autogeek is also a good supplier of menzerna,however detailed image gives us forum members a discount and I believe in supporting forum sponsors,they pay the bills so we diy'rs can save the money we do by avoiding trips to the shop

I have as well. Meguiar's is not keeping any secrets. They make some good products. Their store line is just as impressive as their professional series. I really like Sonus too.
