I'd be interested what the guy from eShine has to say if anything about that info. He has some great advice.

I use Klasse & other products from Chris at Eshine and it even says to use a back and forth motion and not a circular one.

I personally wax every car differently. I follow the contours of the car, this makes any mishaps much less noticeable if particles do cause a scuff/scratch. The best tip is the following....

1. Wash the car very very well, do not use a nozzle when rinsing. Sheet the water off from top to bottom, this will ensure that all particles sheet off the vehicle.
2. Use clean microfiber material to wash, dry and remove polishes/waxes. Thinner materials make it easier to spot and remove debris, thick napped sheepskin or terry hide debris making it hard to spot.
3. Use the "2 bucket method". Have one bucket with the soap/water in it and another with water. After every application of soap, rinse your washing material in the water so debris stays in that bucket. Then go back for another soaping. By using a single bucket you simply make the water dirtier every time you dip. You can also purchase special buckets, Canadian Tire has them. The bucket has a false floor where dirt falls through; when you dip your wash material does not touch the floor of the bucket. It’s made by Black Magic.

Spending more time washing the car will make up for any time spent if you do scratch your surface. Swirls do not usually happen in the waxing stage, they happen during the wash/dry stage.

car cleaning
 
Have polished and waxed my vehicles over 600 times :banghead: . Best way to get swirls is wax on wax off in a circular motion. Luckily my 99gt has never been driven in the rain or especially the snow. All I ever contend with is dust and acid rain if the car is left outside.

im confused here.
on teh very first page dude says

1. Waxing ... eHow Friend
Do NOT use a circular motion when waxing. Also, it is imperative that you prepare your surface with an abrasive or clay and then polish and finally wax.
then if you click the link that says step-by-step instructions
it says

5. Rub the wax onto the car using small circles. Avoid getting wax into seams and jambs'if this happens, use an old, very soft toothbrush to remove it. (Image 3)
