The world of car detailing can be a rabbit hole that is tough to climb out of. Asking people what products they use can be a bit overwhelming because you're likely to get a hundred different answers. I cannot emphasize this enough, but proper washing technique is far more important than what product that you use. This is not to say that some products are not better than others, but I think results (shine levels and lack of swirl marks) is 90% technique and 10% product.

Use clean microfiber wash mitts and do your car one section at a time, taking the extra time to clean out your wash mitt in between sections. Wash your wheels first. Use the two bucket method with a grit guard if you can to make sure you're rinsing out that mitt. Do not use a ton of hand pressure when washing or drying your car and use straight lines rather than a swirling motion. If you really want to step it up, get a pressure washer, foam cannon, an orbital buffer and a leaf blower or other blow drying device as all of those can really enhance your results. There's a lot of info on Youtube these days that can show you the tips you need to be successful.
