They're baaack....

Also if you use all the Adam's products... ask Dylan if their wax has the minor scratch filling abilites and if so it would be more worth it for right

Also if you use all the Adam's products... ask Dylan if their wax has the minor scratch filling abilites and if so it would be more worth it for right now to just layer on 2 or 3 coats of wax instead of going back over the whole car and removing them... though you might be able to use a cleaner wax if they are very light surface marring.

Was the car cleaned to remove oils and what not after polishing and inspected prior to applying LSP/Wax?

Also you could try keeping the mitt away from the grit guard in your "clean" water bucket and just agitate it high up in the bucket. You could be swirling any debris below the grit guard back into the mit.

Im sure theres a few other things but thats all i can think of ATM.

I always take my mitt and put it in the dirty water and squeeze it out on the ground instead of back into the bucket myself... maybe everyone does that. Every few dunks I put the hose on soaker and completely rinse the whole sponge/mitt out. It seems to do well without leaving any marring... of course when your car is white such as mine it doesn't show up nearly as bad either

Thanks I'll try your suggestions. I didn't wash the car again after the fine machine polish, (before applying my first coat of wax). But it didnt seem necessary, the finish looked perfect in direct sunlight...

The swirls are nowhere near as bad as the ones I had prior to correcting my paint...they seem more like spider web lines here and there, you gotta catch them just under the right angles as they shimmer a bit...

It may be like you said some dirt is getting in the wash mitt, I'll rinse the mitt out near the top rather than on the grit guard.

Thanks again fellas!
