What is the best way to keep a new black car's paint in "showroom" condition?

I have a brand new black car and I want to keep the exterior looking like it rolled off the showroom floor for as long as possible. I have had the car three weeks and I've been through a local "touchless" car wash about 6 times. I've just noticed the paint is already starting to show those tiny swirl marks when viewed up close. Do I need to resort to hand washing with special cloths to avoid damaging the super-glossy finish any more than I already have? Any recommendations on the best products (wash mitts, liquid soap, wax, etc) to use?

1. You're a card
2. there is nothing you can do about the swirl marks that I know of. I have a Black bike and to keep it in top shape I only hand wash and turtle wax it, when sitting for longer than 8 hours it is covered. And I periodicaly wipe it down with a soft cloth so the dirt does not build up and scratch the paint.
