check into a california squeege to dry, and whats left over use a microfiber on as well. If you really want to get into detailing google chemicalguys or whatever they are called. They've got VERY nice detailing products.
don't use the california squeege. it also will scratch your paint. best thing to use is a synthetic shammy. i also want to try the shamwow might work. i recently used turtle wax- the black box. i know turtle wax isn't usually the best but i thought id try it. its acutally black pigmented wax. there is a cleaner wax and a carnuba wax, along with a detailing spray. it worked amazing for me, ive been telled everyone with black cars about it. id give it a try.

i wash my car at the diy car washes and how i do it is (this works awsome) use a microfiber sponge and wash the car and then rinse it and then use high pressure wax and then take a shammy and get most of the water off and then dry it with a microfiber towel and that will make your car look really good thats how i do my brothers black stang

I was thinking about buying either that or the meguiars ntx wax because the ntx has gotten many good reviews and the black box is not so popular but it looks like a good deal. I was thinking of getting that California duster for between washes it says it doesnt scratch the paint but who knows...

i did the same thing except the high pressure wax and it turned out really nice
Scratch X 2.0 will fill in swirls, but won't remove them permanently.
It takes a lot of work to remove swirls on our cars because the paint is very hard. I did my hood last night and while it worked well, it took an hour and 3 passes on each of 4 sections.

hahaha... your funny dude... just think of something for a min... a truck drives up from off the beach or through the mud... and wants to clean his truck off... hmmm oh that nice foaming brush would be great to get all the sand and mud and grit and salt off... he gets done with it and hangs it up... drives off... you drive up.. and use that SAME brush on your car... now do you think that caused your swirls or what?

yup your right that can happen and probably has happened to a lot of people, i now use a microfiber sponge and a waffle weave cloth to dry it, works better too.
