Facts.

I've never taken my X5M to get washed outside and even then I am starting to notice some minor swirls here and there even from doing correct two bucket method DIY washing. Anytime anything touches the surface you are going to introduce some imperfections unless you are super careful.

If swirls bothers you then the only method of washing is DIY. another option is to have the car corrected again then have it fully wrapped in paint protection film. Supposedly any swirling self heals once you apply heat but to do the whole car you are talking about 5-7K easy.
