All I know is do not use a towel to dry it to help avoid swirl marks. Also wash going back and forth down the side of the truck also to help avoid swirl marks.

the type of wash is not as important as the technique. since black shows swirls so easily, it is particularly crucial to minimize opportunities to introduce contaminants to your wash routine. Use clean, quality towels and change out dirty towels, use the two bucket method and rinse towels between dips in the buckets, etc.

Detailed Image has a great section with tutorials and best practices and sells a plethora of great products to boot.

Congrats on your new truck! The key to keeping your black paint looking good is proper two bucket wash & proper drying technique.
And keeping a good coat of protection whether that would be a sealant or wax.

I love my truck, hate how hard it is to keep it looking good. I can say the two bucket method really does work. I just started using it recently, truck seems to have a lot less defects after washing now. I use a micro fiber wash mit and barret Jackson car wash. I also use an inline rv water filter to help with water spots.

Shade and a cool surface are also your friends.
