Loved my Jet Black in general. Looked good even when a bit dirty. Looked spectacular (IMHO) when cleaned, sealed, and polished BUT the swirls marks were a bear. Standing back a bit, or looking at it from another car, you don't see them, but when you're washing it, grabbing the door, standing next to it, you do. I'm better with that stuff disguised from me with a more amenable color so I don't stress out about it. Depends on the person, I'd say. As said above, if you have the Jet Black make sure to select and manage your washing/drying/polishing clothes VERY carefully and be very cautious about allowing anyone (or anything) else wash it. Folks tell me the metallic hides the swirls. Never noticed fading or anything like that. With the clear coat and a good polish or wax with UV protection, that seems unlikely to me.
