To the op they make this stuff called Wax-as-u-dry it works great and you can use it between waxes you just squeegee the car and spray this on and wipe the car with your drying towel.
lol I know but I just want to be sure.

friction on paint = removing wax and scratching paint. buy a $30 leaf blower. blow **** off, then use a soft MF towel to wipe off the stuff you couldnt get
Minimize friction in as many ways as possible.

I had a black GTP before and always used a shammy and I didnt have a clearcoat swirl on that thing. come to think of it I kind of miss that sometimes.
