Hiya Ed

Good news, black indeed looks amazing when clean, polished and swirl free. Not so good news... it takes time and dedication to keep it that way. Someone somewhere coined the phrase I believe to be absolutely true... black isn't a color, it's a part-time job. Full time if you want to keep it at it's potential. It all depends on what you're satisfied with.

Product selection is less important than proper techniques and tools. Preventing swirls by proper washing and drying means you don't have to remove them by compounding and polishing. Soft microfiber towels will have to become a part of your arsenal

Mike Stoops has an article on maintaining your finish here:

There's a ton of How To info for you to browse through as well as videos.

I'd suggest you give some thought to processes and tools first, then think about products.
