Swirls happen when someone washed a car with say a sponge, which then drags dirt + small particles across the clearcoat, causing scratches. Bit like using sandpaper!

Ahh, is it better to take the car to a car wash then, i allways wash the car down with water first (pressure washer) at a distance. Looks better at a car wash for some reason.
