Introducing Swirl Marks by Micro Fiber

[Marine Toys]

I have been Detailing my 99 Dodge dakota over the weekend

and I started on the door , I clayed the whole truck, then tried UC
With a polishing pad. It seemed to work pretty good
I took my swirl finder light and noticed that most of them are gone, and thought to my self it needed a second pass.
So here I go again another pass, Check it with the light, most are gone but there is some very small ones now not very deep.

I sat there scratching my head. I noticed that under the light I could see some product that I did not wipe off. so while shining the light on it I wiped it off with my new
SUPREME SHINE® MICROFIBER TOWEL
But !!! While I was shining the light I noted that every time I wiped it I would get a new swirl mark. So I keep doing it until I was satisfied that the MF was indeed putting the swirls on the paint.

Im Confused ?!! is my paint that sensitive or what the ?
any Ideas

It is possible that you have very soft paint or there might have been some polish dust in the towel. I have used Microtex (Walmart), Eurow, and Supreme Shines on my Honda paint with no marring. The one towel that does lightly mar my very soft Honda paint is a Water Magnet.

A good microfiber cannot unload particles without being immersed in water. If you wipe back and forth while detailing, you will be rubbing the dirt you pick up back and forth over the paint.

Water provides the necessary surface lubrication. Simply wet the towel with clean water and wring as dry as possible, use it damp, if the cloth is too wet it will leave streaks. Fold the towel into four quarters Wet – Wring – Wipe- when drying Wipe – Wring - Wipe if the towel becomes too dirty, it will begin to streak; it is then time to use another clean towel.

Methodology - fold the towel into four quarters when using microfiber towels; it’s best to wipe in a single direction until all visible contamination is removed, flipping the towel frequently; micro fibre enables you to clean almost everything without casing surface scratches.

What is equally important with any micro fibre towel is the way they are used; they need to be turned frequently, and don’t apply too much pressure, especially at the edges. Fold the micro fibre towel in half, then in half again, using very little downward pressure, gently wipe the surface and then flip the towel to a clean surface and wipe again. When you see the towel start to show a line of dirt, flip it around and use a different, clean section.

With it folded properly you'll get a couple of first wipe / second wipe sections out of it. It usually takes 4 or 5 towels to wipe down an average vehicle. When you are ready to clean them, rinse well, re-wash and leave to air-dry
