Best product for swirl marks
Only by machine, and only if you're lucky at that... A PC with some cutting pads and aggressive cutting polishes...
If not, a Rotary Buffer with some aggressive compounds/cutting polishes done by an expert familiar with such a buffer...
If not, a nice wet sand of the car's exterior followed by all appropriate steps afterward by someone who has donw it before...
If that still doesn't do it , THEN there is no hope... Only a repaint.

I believe ScratchX only fills the scrathces in. Look at Tropi-Care.com, they are a sponser. They have nice packages including a PC with pads and and a swirl cutter. They were running a special not sure if it is still going on. PC is going to be the best way to go.

^ I agree, but I think he wants to see if he has any luck with something off the shelf and by hand...
I'll be honest, I used Scratch X once and it worked, but my swirls were VERY minor, invisible in the sun and BARELY visible in strong artificial light... For this, there's no point in firing up a PC.

He has a black car though, sooner or later he is going to need a PC. Just get it now and do it right the first time then you will have everything you need next year to do it again.
Yea black does suck. Ill look into the tropi care products. Would anyone recomend the Meguars Professional (mirror glaze) products. Id rather just go down to the parts store and pick somethig up
Scratchx is not a filler .. it is an abrasive that will remove light swirling and scratches when used by hand. It is a good choice if you have a couple of little spots to do.
If you plan on doing the whole car by hand, then Tropi-care TC-8 is a great choice for removing light swirls.. Their TC-3 is also a great choice for a sealant to finish it off with.
I would recommend picking up a DA from Tropi-care, along with some pads, their TC-8 and TC-3.
then:
wash
clay
!swirls
seal
wax

Do try an #83/80 combo, and if you're pleased, "step up" to Tropicare to cut down on buffer time.

My personal experience with Tropicare's swirl cutter is slightly favorable over #83 - it's more abrasive and more effective than #83 at cutting with a PC at 5+, but it has poor persistence (consumption of compound is pretty high!) over #83, and is easy to end up dry buffing if you're inexperienced.

I actually want to shop soon for new sealants/waxes.
