I haven't before done the tape method for seeing results, but I will try that.
What are you using to wash the car? Do you have a foam gun? That and a sheepskin mitt will wash the car with minimal friction.

Actually I don't like drying the car with a towel. The best is to avoid swirling is to use a leaf blower or simply drive the car on the highway for a quick spin. If I do dry with a towel I spray the damp suface with a quick detail spray to decrease friction. I avoid touching dry paint whenever possible.

Or you can do the $2 million Ferrari method (fast forward to the 16:00 mark)
