Invest in a random orbital buffer, and eliminate one of college or pro football from your fall/winter, and one of church/the second 18 from your spring & summer!

I would say do some research on detailing paint, watch some videos on YouTube, ask some questions in the detailing section and then purchase a machine polisher,pads, compounds,polishes,microfiber towels,foam gun,clay bars,detail spray ect ect
Then get ready to blow an entire weekend on getting your paint corrected and protected. With a black car you will learn to except some minor flaws from time to time. Welcome to Groundhogs Day of detailing a black car yup it's a real kick in the n_ts |

Its very common for a new car to have swirls, some marr marks and other odd irregularities. I agree with you in that the paint marks should not be excessive, but I wouldn't get alarmed as new car paint can be far from perfect.
I also agree with the others, in that when you get a chance either find a good detailer or you could fix the paint issues yourself. You will love the results. No offense meant, but its been my experience that dealer detail jobs can leave a lot to be desired.

I've never owned a black car, and after reading a lot about the required maintenance on it, I don't think I will. My color doesn't really show scratches or swirls unless you get real close, but scratches are very very visible because of the primer(im assuming) showing.

Love black vehicles. Buy yourself a polisher and fixer up. I wash my car by hand but never dry it by hand. I always use my electric leaf blower. Both my car and truck look great.
