poorboys "Black hole" sealent
Its specifically for black cars, and it does quite a good job at hiding swirls.
Extremely good!

Not really. That product i mentioned does seem to help. but being black cars- there always a ball ache to keep swirl free.
A Pure 100% Polish is pretty good.
And as for waxes, i use either a dodo wax or the chemical Guys- (pete53 paste wax) both which are meant for black cars.

Cheers again, going to invest in that polish you mentioned and try some of those sealents, iv got the mag clay bar but dont really rate them that well to be honest

WTf are you banging on about?! Why would you polish your car with a clay bar? 
Clay is to remove bonded contaminants before polishing - to prevent further swirls etc being put into the paintwork. Clay on it's own mars the paintwork though which will need polishing out!
As already mentioned PB Black Hole is good for dark cars and AG SRp - both for their filling abilities

1. Light T-cut (using the black version)
2. Polish Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine
3. Megs Tech Wax
The end result is realy good the paint is like glass and is so deep and shiny

No, it prevents them thats all. But as I said, a clay bar will then cause marring to the paint (similar to swirl marks) that will need polishing out.
