I have a black Viggen and I feel your pain. I made the mistake of using a automatic car wash once and it left swirls-a-plenty on the roof and hood of my car. I now have to use glaze to minimize the swirls before waxing - it does work wonders as my first attempt at this was last Sunday and the results were much improved over just a wash and wax. I had become somewhat despondent over the appearance of the paint on my car and now most of my worries are gone - there's still work to fully restore it but I'm on the right track now.
Go to PepBoys, WalMart or wherever and get a faux lambswool mitt for washing your car. It's machine washable to remove any possibility of grit or abrasives between uses and is very soft on the finish. Any brush with plastic bristles is almost guaranteed to leave "spiderweb" scratches on the clearcoat. I dunno about pressure washing. I prefer to rinse the car well with a strong stream from the garden hose and then hand wash it with the mitt and car wash soap.
If you already have these scratches from the brush order some 3M Imperial Hand Glaze and apply it prior to the first time you wax the car.
