What kind of wax or sealant did you use when you finished? Keep in mind if it was a wax... especially a paste wax, that they have swirl filling abilities, and it is highly possible that you had filled them and now with the washing they are showing up again.

You could wash and dry the car ( move passed the whole towel method and just buy an electric blower, less chance of marring ) and wax an area and see if that fills in an area, but allow it a few hours to cure and such at least before you make your conclusion.

Just a few things to try out.

Thanks for the reply...Yes after I finished polishing it with the fine machine polish step I inspected it very closely and absolutely no swirls remained...(there was one or two spots on the car that had slight scratches that I didnt remove 100%, but aside from that all swirls were gone).

I actually waxed the car the next night using Adams machine superwax....I applied a few coats within a week of finishing polishing it. its been sunny almost everyday since finishing it and I would have definitely noticed the swirls right away, had any remained. I'll try waxing one panel with a few coats to see if it helps. I picked up a leaf blower, im not going to dry the car off with a towel any more.
