I have all Black cars and have learned over the years that it is almost impossible to avoid the spider scratches, etc... even when you take the greatest care.

One thing about orange peel, it makes the car a lot harder to scratch. If you hvae ever seen a black car with a professional paint job with no orange peel at all, then you know how clear and mirror like the paint is. I can also tell you that if you so much as run a dry, even micro fibre cloth, on a paint job like that - it will scratch.

pros & Cons. You cannot beat a clean waxed Black car! Mine should arrive any day now - I have instructed the dealer to not touch the car until I arrive.
If you keep it waxed smooth you can avoid the spider scratches just a little bit longer. But ya, NO way to avoid them.
