I feel like with this color it won't get dirty as much and not really any swirls.
I did a deep detail right after I bought it. clay bar, PC with a light compound, and polish. Since then I've waxed it about once or month or so and so far no swirls, nothing. After a year and 3/4th the paint is holding up pretty good -- only a couple of pinhead sized chips near the front of the hood.

All said, I'm pleased with the color and its maintenance free nature
