Proper preventive maintenance is the key to perfect paint.

Thanks man, that's basically the answer I was expecting to get, but I kinda needed to hear it from the folks here who have more experience than me.
Being new to all of this, my first reaction was that if I was very careful and on top of everything and waxed regularly, I could
prevent swirl marks. A very false assumption, but one I made nonetheless. By dashing away that assumption and making what is otherwise a new statement, it adjusts my approach and thus how I measure happiness/success.
In other words: preventing swirls is not success. Dealing with them when they do inevitably appear and leaving behind perfect paint is success.
