Make sure you wash the car PROPERLY. Most swirls and caused from improper washing techniques.

What you will need:

two 5 gallon buckets
gritguard
genuine lambswool wash mitt - my personal fav
car soap

The idea behind two buckets and a gritguard is to keep your soap water and wash mitt as clean as possible to minimize marring the paint while washing.

1 bucket is used for soap water while the other is used the rinse the mitt during washing. Dip mitt in car soap and begin at roof, use light pressure and wipe front to back instead of in circles. Depending on how dirty the car is, you will need to rinse out the wash mitt in the other bucket more often. A good rule of thumb is wash out the mitt after every panel. When rinsing the mitt, rub it back and forth against the gritguard and feel the mitt for any particles and remove them before dipping it in the soap bucket. I like a nice waffle weave microfiber for drying.

Hope this helps.
