My CLK is black and i have tried all sorts of polish to get a good glass-like polish - this may be the answer!
Black is one of those colours!
Please make sure the car is spotless and dust free. Swirls really show up on black, and if you do drop your clay, ditch it and get a new bit, not worth finding that there was an evil bit of grit in there eating at your paint.
Get the clay warm first, use a good lube, and regularly kneed the clay to get a fresh clean surface.
The best cheat for swirled black paint is something called blackhole, its a glaze, and will fill tiny scratches that ruin the glass finish.
