SE told me that that colour can show swirl marks, he knows that I am a perfectionist... but not entirely convinced Volcano will be different.
You SE’s knowledge is very limited.

All colours can show swirls, proper paint preperation and aftercare result in no swirls.

18 months into ownership of my Met Black Macan and zero swirls.

I am no perfectionist, just very careful in how I prep, wash and dry my car.

Get the colour you want and not what the SE wants you to get.

You have certainly done well with a black car with no swirl marks... have you had your Macan ceramic coated? I’m thinking about getting the wheels done, haven’t decided on body work yet, as I keep all my cars pretty close new condition, and have managed so far without any expensive coatings.

If you go for a gtechnic (or other) protection they will normally offer the wheels at the same time for a nominal extra.
I did my own (bodywork and wheels) and it does help with ongoing maintenance...

That’s a thought... do you know if the wheel serum, lasts as long as the paint serum?

You got me worried about swirl marks on my sapphire so I thought I'd better check. Nope, none visible.

Yes... as posted it depends on your car care routine, any car can get/ show swirl marks, or show more on certain colours. Looks lovely in sapphire.
