Dumb Move?

So living in chicago can be a bitch. I washed my car at the touchless car wash today with it being a warm and sunny 12 degrees oustide. It did a decent job. I let it air dry by driving really fast. Got home and sprayed some Meguiars Ultimate Quik Detailer on the car and cleaned it off with a microfiber towel. Dumb move or not? I felt like I had no other choice. Couldn't stand looking at it with all that damn salt.

I would not have done that... A touchless car wash will never get off all the grit on your car, and running a towel over it will only produce swirls... I hope your car isn't black.

+1. I tried this once and thankfully noticed the swirls it was causing almost immediately. No wiping after a pay-and-spray!
