That was my point fudgey, mine looked mint polished up and then just looked shit again once washed, its like when you buy a new item of clothing, feels fresh, smooth comfy wash it and it goes out of a bit out of shape looks different feels different..
I didnt have time to do the whole car but i basically just did the passenger side wing, door, quarter and the roof rail bit and pillars, washed, dried, clayed, washed, dried, resin polished, buffed that off, and then used dodo juice purple haze wax and it looks mint and pretty swirl free compared to the other side, ive bought a proper drying towel and megs shampoo, and just going to see what happens next time i wash it, if it goes back to looking shit again ill either get it mopped, or just give up and leave it, its pretty mint as it is, but im very picky, its either gotta be perfect or near as, or nothing, i know its a 10 year old car but still, winter is coming and i know it being my daily and also the fact ive lowered it too much

its going to get proper caked in crap !
