¿What Are Swirl Marks and How to Prevent Them?
Have you ever noticed fine circular scratches on your car’s paint under direct sunlight? These are called swirl marks, and they can make even a well-maintained vehicle look dull and aged.
What causes swirl marks?
- Using dirty sponges or low-quality towels during washing
- Drying the car with rough or contaminated cloths
- Automatic car washes with abrasive brushes
- Wiping dust or dirt off without proper lubrication

How to prevent them:
- Use the two-bucket method (one for soap, one for rinsing your wash mitt)
- Always use high-quality microfiber towels for washing and drying
- Avoid automatic car washes with hard brushes
- Apply a quality sealant or wax regularly to protect your paint
At JLN Car Detailing, we use professional techniques and premium products to remove existing swirl marks and prevent new ones from forming. Our goal is to restore and maintain that deep, reflective shine.
