I've noticed this somewhat with my black Nismo, as well, I believe a polish compound is supposed to reduce the appearance of swirls, but I've yet to use it.

I can see some in my Red and I am meticulous about the paint, Not much to do once you start washing the vehicle.

I take it to a brushless car wash that my friend at the local Porsche dealer recomends to Porsche owners.

I just don't wash mine as much. Every time I wash it, it rains. If I don't wash it, it'll be dry for weeks.
 Don't sweat the petty stuff,.............and don't pet the sweaty stuff
