reason why you don't let random people wash your car (pics)

So I had to bring my car in for some follow-up repairs from like 2 years ago. They were nice to wash my car for me, but damn, it swriled like CRAZY! They were just being nice, but I should have told them ahead of time... Oh well, it's still raining, so I am sure I'll have to do a full detail again once spring hits...

I mainly use Klasse twins, but I find that your 'kragen' brand, Meguiars products, work pretty well also.

The before pic was after the shop washed my car and the after pic was after I detailed it. So yes, the swirls can be removed.
