To minimize swirls you'll need to do the following.

Wash wheels first
Use a foam gun I have this one https://www.detailedimage.com/Gilmou...allon-Tank-S1/
Followed up with a two bucket method working from top to bottom
Rinse car off thoroughly and use flooding method to minimize water left over
Then dry car off with a leaf blower

Definitely keep wipedowns to a minimum and the less contact with paint the better

You're welcome. I've owned a black car before, never again. Well unless it's metallic then maybe lol.

Yes it does. Need some sun shots. If you need help figuring out what to buy to reduce swirls PM me and I'll link all the stuff I bought that I wash my cars with.

Invest in some waffle weave drying towels. Also don't go scrubbing while drying. That will induce swirls. A detail spray makes for a nice drying aid as well. Simply sheet the water off with low pressure and spray each panel as you dry. Two towels work great for this. Then you can follow up with a final wipedown with a quality microfiber towel and detail spray or spray wax.

Yea I like the Cobra Guzzler waffle weave. Fold four times, buy two of them. That's what I did before buying my leaf blower

how often are you guys washing black cars? Or any car in general. I heard theres such thing as too much.

MikeWS6

Only problem with the blower, I would think, would be blowing dirt up from the ground when you go to dry the panels, bumpers ect.

I've never had that issue but then again I make sure my area is clean and I always keep it pointed at body panels.

black is tough, i wash mine once a week, it stays clean for one day. if i dont drive it.

Got the bucket at the cobra weave. How do I clean the Cobra towel?

MikeWS6, your car looks good. I also have a black car. I use chemical guys microfiber wash cleaning detergent for cleaning my towels. I watched a lot of Junkman 2000 videos on you tube for detailing tips besides the ton of info on this site.
