Cleaning the Black Zeee

Um...you did use soap, right? Because the way you worded it sorta makes it sound like you just hosed off your car then went straight to drying it. Originally Posted

If you wash, dry and polish/wax with a circular motion your swirl marks will be more obvious. If you try to wash, dry and polish/wax by wiping in the direction of the bodywork the swirl marks will be less obvious.

I agree with FlashBazbo - microfibre towels are the best way to get the water off.
