Yes washing and drying with a MF
Waxing with a good wax, maska the swirls really well.
I applied Sealer and Glaze and then a coat of Gold Class and the results were superb.
I have a similar line of action too in mind, Sealer and Glaze after every month, and then usually Gold Class every week.
Oh yes i wet the applicator before applying the wax, it does work quite well, infact you save a lot of wax this how also.
