When doing the routine of the wash I use the lowest pressure setting, and when I'm rinsing the car off the highest pressure setting on the wash.
And I avoid touching the paint at all cost. The only time I do is to confirm if something is like a rock chip, or scratch, or dent, instead of just a streak of dirt or something.
To add, I guess they aren't actual swirl marks, more like smudges from the microfiber in a circular motion. This was very noticeable in the sunlight, so I took it to a touchless wash at night, and it didn't dry completely, and I awoke to a water spot/streak covered car. Is there any fast solution to removing these? Like running a damp microfiber gently over it or something? I'd rather not run it through and wash it again if it can be avoided.

The microfiber towels at the autoparts store are crap. I've been looking into a lot of detailing stuff since getting my new car last week and have learned a lot.
Adam's polishing has a lot of awesome, informational videos and tutorials on youtube. I just bought the "Adam's Essential Car Kit" and a few other things from @
DetailersDomain over the weekend.
The microfiber towels that they have on there are much different than the ones from Autozone and stuff. They still have those types of microfiber towels but it's listed that those be used for things like doorjams, engine bay etc. and not the actual surface of the car.
I'm still quite a bit of a newb when it comes to this topic though, so maybe the guys from DetailersDomain can chime in since I tagged them in this post.
