Shadow Black has Metallic Flake in the Paint (Detail tips welcome)

[MAVERICK OCD]

I've owned my truck for a few months now but just recently got the time off off work to give it a polish. I started to see the metallic flake come through after I started going over it. It's subtle but I like that. All this time I thought it was just plain black.

On a side note, I can get the swirls out but I still see some very fine imperfections that I can't seem to buff out. I never had a black car before but I do have detailing experience. What are Shadow Black owners using for polish and pads? Any detail tips for Shadow Black are welcome. I want to make sure it's perfect before I add a ceramic coating to
it. I'm going to keep it in my garage and head to Vegas for a week. I'll have a few days to work on it once I get back before I have to add the ceramic coat and let it cure.

Thanks everyone and looking forward to your advice.
