Default What's the best way to prevent swirl marks?

Just curious, will be getting a santorin blue A4 soon, and I don't want to add swirl marks if there is a way around it.

Also - Good wax to use with Audi's paint?
What about the interior... Dash board? It's not really STP or Son of a Gun - worthy, is there a good cleaner for that material type? and, the leatherette, can I use a normal leather conditioner on it, like Meguiars? (use it on wife's VW bug's leather - works great!)

Thanks guys.

Keep the hanky panky INSIDE the car, not ON the car.

Never touch your car. Wish I had the answer.

Default dont wax in swirls??..... up down, left right...sand the floor daniel-san

Just kidding.... but the 3M Handglaze with the Blitz wax seems to be the popular choice of all the people on Audi world for the exterior..... the interior i use zymol leather cleaner and protector but i'm sure other cleaners are better... don't recomend armor all too much...i think it cracks after long exposure to the sun and there too much glare with the regular one.....
other people tell me simple green diluted of just plain water......

Good point, will probably help with preventing dents on hood too, right?
