I had the same thing happen. What kind of MF did you use? I used the costco ones with quick detailer.

Even my old MF`s that have been used and abused have never done anything like that.

It could be a combination of things....... cheap/bad MF`s, MF`s not clean, rubbing too hard, etc.
I would always try the CD test before using a MF on my paint, or at least just do a very small spot and make sure you aren`t causing marring. It would also help if we knew the brand and history (how they were washed, etc) of your MF`s.John

Are you sure the marring was all gone to begin with?

That seems like a lot of swirling just from a MF towel. I use the Costco towels and have no problems. Clean up a small area and use the MF towel in question in a straight back and forth motion and see if you get straight marring lines.

Yakky, do you have a black car? In my case the marring is to slight that it wouldn`t so up on another color, but I have sworn off anything but wet cleaning- that includes QD. ONR is my new friend and wax as I dry.

I`ve had cotton applicators leave a swirled finish from uneven sealant application. It looked like micromarring but it wasn`t.

wannafbody, how did you fix that? How did you know it wasn`t really marring? When I QD it, it does go away, but seem to introduce more maring.

I see slight trails and the swirls too closely set to eachother. If you look closely it looks like marks from a rotory. What did u polish it with?
