clearly I need to go to detailing school on this thing!

 

If you WANT swirls, that's what I would recommend.

If you want it swirl free, than you have to hand wash, with lots of water, soap, and a soft sponge. You have to dry it with 100% high quality cotton towels. You have to use some care when washing it.

I have a 10 year old Corvette, with virtually no swirl marks. I use Zaino Bros. polishes exclusively. The first time through is a lot of work, but the results are amazing. I just put a coat of polish on every few months after that, along with the gloss enhancer. The shine is fantastic.

Also, keep the car garaged when not in use. That's a must for long term finish quality.

I've just claybarred, and polished with Zaino.
Oh My God!!!!
I never thought I could get such a smooth paint finish.
Like other correspondents, its a lot of work, but hope the next time will be quicker and easier.
I don't have a garage for my truck, and when I am not using it, it sits under a sunshade.
But that doesn't stop the dust.
What's your best tip on getting the dust off, and not ruining the wonderful finish?
Thanks for your imput.

California Car Duster. Kind of a string mop with a oily substance on it that sucks the dust off. For my Aston, I just keep it in the trunk and wipe it down (takes only a minute) to get the layer of dust off.

 

There is really one one way, and that is to use a car cover to prevent the dust of attaching to the surface to begin with. If you try to clean the dust off dry, you will end up scratching the surface.

Jet, Zaino works great follow the instructions to a tee and you will receive a piano jet black finish its almost a day job. The product really stood the test of time here in Canada during the Winter. I ordered the full kit including the excelerator and touch up polish, also there leather cleaner is excellent. Order there cloth rags as they are the best.
