I knowwww, I hate black lol... I had it perfect for a while then it just went back to swirls. I also rushed this clean job to make sure I had enough light to take pics. If only you lived around here, your car always looks soooooo clean!!
The vast majority of swirls come from improper washing and drying. Obsidian is a soft paint color that is very easy to mar while washing. It is extremely important that you follow the proper washing and drying techniques to greatly reduce swirl marks so the car remains looking great for a longer period of time.
If you wanted to increase surface hardness, get maximum protection while never having to wax your car, and also achieve the highest levels of gloss, you should look into having your car polished and coated with a premium paint coating like CQuartz Finest. You can find more info on that product's website www.CQFinest.com You will also find a select group of authorized professional installers in your area.
As always, Feel free to ask if you've ever got any detailing related questions

Trust me I know I need one bad!!
Here's a teaser pic after spending 8 hours washing, claying, polishing, and opti-coating the entire coat.
Mine is not as low as yours and my rears were a bit more than 2 degrees negative... fronts were like 1-1.5 degrees negative.
Nope no camber kit, however my rears are an inch wider than stocks so that might have a lot to do with it maybe? My front's are also an inch wider as well, but running about 1-1.5 negative like you hmmm weird.
