Dude, no matter what have them order you a new truck - I would. You paid a lot of money for the truck and it should be perfect. Personally, I got a white truck for the very reason that I didnt want to have to worry so much about "swirls" (but black is tight if its WELL maintained). I didnt wash my truck or anything until I did all my research on detailing. The bottom line is that WHAT MATTERS THE MOST FROM PREVENTING SWIRLS (IMHO) is what type of cloth/towel/chamois etc. you use to dry/wash/polish your truck. ITS THE TYPE OF CLOTH MORE THAN WAX/POLISH/CAR WASH that will dictate whether you will get swirls or not. You can read all the hundreds of posts and threads on the subject - but if you want my opinion then wash your truck yourself (car washes use cheap terry cloth towels to dry sometimes). Use a clear coat safe wash mit, dry with a high QUALITY chamois and polish (BY HAND) using an expensive, 100% cotton bath towel (from high end department stores - the super soft Fieldcrest Cannon ones). Use whatever high quality car wash liquid and polish you want (although I do use the Zaino products). Whatever I am doing must be right because I CHALLENGE ANYBODY TO FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF PAINT SWIRLS ON MY TRUCK. Yes its WHITE, but even under my flourescent street lights at night there is not a trace of a swirl anywhere at any angle you may look at it!
