Black paint is a nightmare....
Absolutely no excusses for dealer behaving deceptively, but.....
Mate that worked in a Honda dealership said that the high gloss black is a nightmare for delivery. He said they basically didn't wash or touch the car uneccessarily, except for taking off the panels protective 'wrap'.
Pretty much the first time you wipe it in any way you will leave swirls if you look carefully in the right light.
Black is for show cars that are constantly detailed or for everyday use if you can live with the swirls.
P.S.

Me too.... Good wash and coat of wax and the silver looks reasonable most of the time. Even better after it's rained!
Haven't washed it in a year and a half with water restrictions in Melb. Too busy (or lazy) to go commercial car wash and it looks OK.
