By far the BEST solution if you have the space for a hose.
Check out AMMO NYC's YouTube channel. He details million dollar cars and drives a 964 I think.


The #1 cause for paint swirl is dragging dirt and sediments across a dry paint surface. The insane suds of a foam cannon will give you the most lubrication to clear off the surface.
There's a proper technique for shooting the foam in front of the mitt or sponge as you move left to right in the direction of the wind. So if your right handed you would hold the pistol grip in that hand and chase with the sponge/mitt with the left hand.
But first I would rinse the car down with low pressure to get the heavy gunk off, then cover the entire car in foam.

Follow up with the leaf blower to dry. Or spray the car down with a quick detail spray to dry the car with lubrication. And use a waffle weave pattern drying towel. Do not use cheap auto store towels in the paint, use "deep pile" towels like the Griots Garage green and blue towels that do not have a prickly side. If you are going to use prickly microfiber (overkill for a well maintained paint surface) don't use them more than once on tjw paint surface unless the paint is 100% white glove test clean.
