Default It's not just you. However, Zaino products can help... go to www.zainobros.com

You can also check out the detailing forum. Do a search and you'll find lotsa info.

The trick is to use Zaino and the right cloth.

Default Prevent! Never wash or wax in circles, only back and forth!

I don't have bb, but any color will show swirls in the right light. I have very little to no swirls that i can see, and i purposely look for them all the time. Car is 10 months old.

Default Wash your BB at least once every 10 days. I try to wash mine every week, but somehtimes....

mother nature doesn't allow. : ) I keep some 3M Imperial hand glaze handy for surface scratches, which I've already had to use twice now. I use One Grand Blitz wax and a couple of 3M microfiber cloths for waxing; as stated above don't wax or wash in circles. Also after washing make sure to get it completely dry. P21S super absorbing towel is great for this.
Also, make sure to wash all of your rags in the washing machine bfore using them on your car again. So far I don't have any swirl marks or scratches (that didn't come out with the hand glaze). My finish is still extremely glossy after 6 months.
