I use waffle weave microfiber towels to dry, and I blot dry more than wipe dry when I can. The little scratches are 'swirls,' and are a pain to avoid with clear coat paints. A good polishing should remove most of them. Preventing them isn't just about drying. Its all about keeping everything as grit free as possible while washing and drying. I do a two bucket wash, multiple wash mitts and towels, and use grit gaurds, etc. I still get light swirling over time because this isn't the hardest clear coat, but I just polish once or twice a year and remind myself that i'm probably the only one who notices the swirls.
