Thanks Merlin.

Thought that to be the case. I had some swirls when I bought the truck and took them out the summer before last. Got busy (and lazy) so I had what I thought was a trusted source detail it a few months ago and after the second or third wash, the swirls were back.

I've learned my lesson. No one else is touching my paint besides me from now on. As soon as I have little time (hopefully over the holidays) I'll detail it again and keep your elixir in mind for maintenance thereafter.
