Yes, black takes more care, but a wash shouldn't swirl it up... if you're putting swirls on with a wash, then somehow you're grinding dirt in... Either you're using a dirty (or wrong type of) cloth or dirty water (not using 2 bucket method or a grit guard).

A simple wash shouldn't swirl up your car (especially factory paint). Ya, it does at the dealer cuz they practically use a dirty mop to wash the damn thing... but if you're taking care at home, no way.
