He said you’ve really gotta spray it down, then foam the entire car to break the dirt and grime away from the paint, THEN wash.
Obviously never really had nice enough vehicles to care but I ended up buying a foam gun off amazon so I can start washing it in this manner | I've always blasted the car as much as I can, try to hose off as much of the dirt as possible. Dirt = swirls, less dirt less swirls.
I don't even do 2 bucket and the M3 doesn't have any swirls. Rock hard German paint helps though. Do the same thing on a Lexus you'll have sanded the paint off.

Got a paint correction, ceramic coating and a PPF on the roof of our G37 today for $500
Looks pretty nice I’m somewhat skeptical on the longevity of the coating but the paint correction and everything turned out great for a 14 year old car
Was thinking of selling it however based on marketplace listings I figure a “fair” price would be $9000-$10,000 and imo this car is worth more than that to me so no point

The M3 coating is 7 years old and it's still beading well, but it's almost exclusively parked inside other than when we go out and end up parking outside.
UV will degrade the coating quicker, as will washing it frequently and where you wash it. My guy told me if I use the touchless washes a lot the coating will degrade quicker as those use a very strong acid to basically eat the grime away.
Though $500 is stupid cheap for a polish and coating. Do you know which brand they use? There are ceramic quick detailers that seem to be quite good as well.

And yea was $500 for all 3… only annoying thing is it seems like they got the coating on the windshield.. not sure how it’s applied is it a spray? So may be overspray or somthing?
Because now sitting in the car I can see the texture of the coating through the glass.. trying to see if they will polish it off or what before I recommend anyone lol..

Because now sitting in the car I can see the texture of the coating through the glass.. trying to see if they will polish it off or what before I recommend anyone lol.. | Application can be done 2 ways. Spray is the cheaper easier product to work with, where you just spray and wipe. Microfiber application is more pro. For the low low price you paid of $500 I find it hard to believe you got the microfiber treatment..... So assuming it's the spray and wipe kind.... Just take a microfiber towel and buff your windshield till the streak goes away, should come off easily.
