I'm not sure if carbon black is the same as black sapphire metallic or jet black. Jet black is known to have super soft clear coat. If you clay, you will definitely see marring. Marring is close to minimal on all other colors since the clearcoat is much harder on all the other colors (i dont know why they chose to use a soft cc on jet black). If you are extremely anal about the way your car stays defect free, you may either want to not clay it at all, or clay it and do a 1 step polish. Sandwhich bag or not, just swipe your (clean) hand over your paint, while it is wet of course, and you will feel the little grits embedded in your paint.
