Then I rinse the car.
I use chemical guys shampoo for washing, with a microfiber wash mitt.
Got the 2 buckets.
So I start from the top working down, but stop just after half way down. I do this all round the car. Then I do the bottom of the car and bumpers.
Then rinse the whole car.
And dry it from top down with Adams towel.
Wheels are done seperately.

That's about it.

The swirls aren't bad (in my opinion, since I'm no pro).
After I hand polish, the avg guy wouldn't know it was there (i think).

So is there anything in the washing procedure that I need to change?

I would avoid the duster despite the positive praise it recieves. Even with the stickyish fibres & static there are still going to be dust particles being dragged around on the surface creating the potential for swirls Wink
