2021 Honda CR-V EX-L — ceramic-coated car still picked up light swirls

2021 Honda CR-V EX-L, about 48,000 miles. Coating looks glossy and beads well, but I still picked up light marring over time. I think my wash/dry process is the problem. What part of the routine causes the most avoidable contact? Trying to diagnose before I book a shop.

Following up on v ex-l — ceramic-coated car still picked: still happening, but I have better notes now. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2021 Honda CR-V, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2021 Honda CR-V in Los Angeles, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “v ex-l — ceramic-coated car still picked,” that was the fork that mattered for me. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.
