I totally agree. The other day I was at the Nissan dealership - they have a brand new black GTR with swirl marks clearly visible thanks to some numnut not cleaning it properly. Imagine what they would do with a vanilla 370z.

Even "Handwashing" places could/would use a cloth that is dirty. Always use a cleaned (washing machine) micro each time. And lots of suds.
I used Mequiars Ultimate Compound and an inexpensive buffer to remove swirl marks on my previous Z. Takes a lot of time. You have to go over it a lot, but it does work. In my Opinion....NEVER use a heavy compound, or even the "polishing " compound. And start in an inconspicuous place, NOT in the center of your hood.
Cheers
