I use mine as a daily driver and it is not that bad. It really comes down to how you take care of it. I use Zaino products and love the results. You can ask anyone that has seen my car you see little to no swirls and the car has 30k on it so far. So to answer the OP question It comes down to how you care for your car washing technique and products us use. A quality product is necessary and finding one in the local pepboys is not really where you go.

I love my black Z but living in the desert of Nevada its a real pain in the ***, even keeping it garaged because we have that awesomely fine sand/dust combo that gets everywhere....you wash your car just to see it dusty as hell a couple days later...I wash my car often. Its a labor of love.

For guys having swirl problems, you should look into this sort of resin that certain detail shops can apply. It's a sort of polish that dries rock-hard. Sorry I'm blanking on the name of it, but a friend of mine had it done on his black car, and even going through car washes, it has remained swirl-free.

Not sure how long it lasts, and it cost him $450 to put it on.. but he has been extremely reckless with washing his car for the past year and it still looks great. I wouldn't own a black car without something like that.
