Whats the best way. My truck is black and if you've ever owned a black vehicle you know what I mean.

removing swirl marks

I use Meguiar's Swirl Remover on our 96; the swirl marks just pop-up even tho we use thickly napped cottonr towels (w/any nylon threads on edges removed!) to wash/dry...will use shop vac to dry it off now that I have a clean one to use only for the Bronco

removing swirl marks

Swirl marks are very hard to avoid but easy to take care of if you got the time. That swirl remover works good another idea is get anykind of POLISHING compound and use a LOW speed buffer on it. All of those swirls and minor scratches usually come from when you wash your pride and joy. If you use a brush at a car wash be sure and spray that thing out for at least 30 sec with the pressure washer, those brushes are filthy. Same goes for if you wash it in your backyard make sure everything you are using on the surface is extremely clean (mit, towels, etc....) Oh and never scrub a dry surface always rinse your truck off before scrubing anything, it usually gets rid of all that fine dust and bird crap on your paint which usually makes those swirls and scratches.
