I only wash the vehicle once a month, or after a road trip, even with two-bucket method it is hard to be swirl-free, just part of owning a vehicle

On Jet Black, it is plain annoying if you are OCD about scratches and swirls (I am)
I thought swirls were caused by bad applicationof wax (hazy swirl) and car wash brushes (fine scratches that give the illusion of swirl/round where light shines) How do you get them with two bucket method, is it the sponge that you use? Or you don't even use sponge?

Although I love the car when its clean. Psh, thing is glass.

Warning: Rock chips may be shown in picture below. ty BQE
This is why I love JB.
Not just BQE, the highways in NYC are just crap, plain old crap, regardless of where you drive, you will get rock, and all sort of sh*t messing with your paint. It should not as bad on F15 with it's blunt nose and high hood, but yes we will still get hit with random stuff on a daily basis.

Also, in this thread, suggestion to get opticoat was made, what do you think?
