Congrats on the Z!

Take some pics when you get the swirls taken care of.

Unfortunately, 40th quartz is almost as hard to keep clean and shiny as black. But when it's clean, it looks fabulous.

Thx in advance.
I have the same issue with mine. i decided to take matters into my own hands to try remove those swirls. An excellent resource on detailing would be to visit this site if you ever decide you want to detail yourself.

My car stays clean (looking) and shiny even if I don't get to wash it.
I would change your wax/sealant.

it is the same with mine, you need to get extremely close to it before you would notice it was dirty.................probably doesn't hurt that I am washing it weekly at a minimum!
