Contrary to some of the advice here on black cars,
(a) I use a wash mitt only when the dirt isn't gritty. I am informed they trap grits. Nevertheless, I am told mitts are better than sponges as mitts will take the grits up into the fibres away from the surface. Mitts are OK if your car isn't gritty-dirty.
For washing, I generally use a soapy-wet towell and occasionally a separate bucket of warm water to rinse out the tiny grits that can get caught in the wash cloth - depending on how dirty the car is and what kind of dirt that is. Also, I wash and towell off always in straight lines and never in rotary motion. This prevents wash-swirl.
(b) I never use rotary motion in polishing although rotary strokes are fine for appyling polish or wax. Straight line polishing prevents swirl.
Although the dealer has left dirty water on the car, my car has good wax and I can eliminate aggravating sub-standard wash marks using post-wax gloss spray after a re-wash.
