you cant remove the swirls without the proper product... in fact, you cant even cover them up without product.
to minimize swirls, you have to make sure that your wash mitt (or cotton cloth) is clean; use good quality car shampoo; and make sure that the cotton clothes do not have nylon stitching (safest to remove all edges).

Swirl marks are caused by your hand moving in a circular motion and of course holding something mildly abrasive. So whether you're waxing, removing wax, washing, or drying move your hand in a straight line. Think bumper to bumper. A circular scratch catches the light from almost any angle, which makes it so very easy to see. Synthetic products usually have a softness edge over their natural counterparts. Keep your eye on this forum, there's a lot of good information and ideas here. If you use quality Microfiber towels/applicators you won't have swirl marks.
