I hosed down the car, used Meguiar's Gold Soap(don't remember the exact name but that's close) and used brand new wash mits that were in plastic when i bought them, rinsed the car then used the absorber to wipe down. My thinking is the mits caused the swirls.

I hear it's 3-6 mos but wanted confirmation from you guys.

It was done at my buddy's uncle's body shop.

Yes. Same color, black.

That's sounds pretty good.
