a friend of mine is considering the purchase of a Black car, but I've advised him against it because of the delicate nature of Black paint - and its tendancy to show swirl marks.

Keep in mind that my friend knows how to take care of his car, but my understanding of black paint is that there's really no way around it getting loaded up with swirl marks. However, I have never owned a black car.

Is it true how delicate Black paint is, or is this a misnomer due to the fact that 9 out of 10 people have their cars washed at carwashes, and black paint just happens to show swirl marks more readily than other paint colors? Are the swirl marks preventable with dedicated handwashing of the vehicle with a soft mit?
