The only way to know for sure is to check multiple areas on the car with the flash bulb test. That will tell you eactly what shape your paint is in. For those who don't know what the flash bulb test is, see the pictures below.
This is how I test paint to see what condition it is in. This will also tell you if you are washing or wiping on the car correctly. You must use your camera's macro setting to shoot shots like this. It allows you to place the camera within 12" of the surface and still get focused picture. If you use automatic mode, the picture will just be blurry. Here is another set of before and after.
he only method of washing that I'll ever endorse or you'll see me do is the 2 bucket wash. It is proven to be damage free when done correctly using te correct equipment. The paint on my car is a testament to this method.
