Really impressive. Congrats!

Black is so gorgeous, yet so hard to keep that way. Looks like your guy was a Pro and if he did what you paid for, keeping your paint looking that way will be a snap. In my experience, touching the car ONLY with microfiber towels and keeping it washed (using MF towels)& waxed every couple of weeks will keep her looking great for some time to come. The MF towels should be used (in cold water) to wash the car. It'll clean incredibly well and not scratch your shine. Apply a little pressure for stubborn spots. Then dry with MF towels and wax. Use MF towels to remove the wax.

Try to source MF towels that are at least a plush 70/30 blend. Failing that, grab yellow MF towels from Costco and you'll be in good shape. They are 80/20 but are plush and of a good quality.
