Black Sapphire hides swirls much better than Jet Black. So if you have swirls on SB you really doing something. 99% of swirls are produced during improper washing, (that includes drying) correct that and you are golden.

So start with proper washing techniques. The 2 bucket method is a must. Get grit guards in each bucket, 2 per bucket is even better. Use good wash mitt. After wash, blow/pat dry it, don't drag towels across.

After paint correction, wax/seal the shit out of it. It will help with future washes.

So what it comes down to is proper washing/drying techniques.
