I've detailed 5 black cars in the past week. For each car, I've used Meguairs professional Heavy cut cleaner ( here ) followed with Sonus SFX-2 Swirl remover ( here ). A few of the cars were in horrible condition, and all 5 of them came out looking brand new. The finished results were amazing, and the owners were extremely satisfied (as was I). Unfortunately, since I dont have a camera, i dont have any pics, but I asked the owners to take a few, and hopefully i'll have some soon. Just be sure that if you use the heavy cut cleaner, that you follow up with a glaze, like the #3 ( here ), in order to bring the gloss back.
Edit: Let it be noted that you don't always need to use the heavy cut - i just use that because I'm detailing cars that most likely have never been detailed before and have many imperfections in the paint. There is also a medium and light cut cleaner that will also work well depending on the job. Also, meg's #7 (show car glaze) also works well. I'm still trying to figure out which i like better, 3 or 7.

I absolutely HATE using Meg's #7. It seems like it is so much work to put that damned glaze onto the car, and take off is no easier. Mother's and Meguiar's are good at making consumer products, and they make them well. However, for the avid detailer, I have found that there are numerous other brands which Mothers and Megs cannot even compete with. I love my Poorboy's. The SSR2.5 is a VERY good swirl remover and can get almost all swirls out of dark colored (and light colored, obviously) cars. However, the SSR3 can get what the 2.5 cant, but it is VERY abrasive and WILL dull your paint. So, if you go with the SSR3, you need to follow that up with the SSR2.5 and then the SSR1. The SSR3 gets deeps swirls out by creating a very abrasive surface, and by doing so, it leaves TONS of swirls, which the SSR2.5 can easily get out. So, if you go straight from SSR3, to a carnauba, your car MIGHT look decent from far away, but in direct light, itll look like bucocky.
