If you can afford to buy a new Porsche, why not order from another dealer and fly out to it to take delivery? You don't have to keep putting up with sub-par service. You'd get it broken in faster too

There is no way I ever have anyone 'wash' the car. Ever. If you like swirls, go ahead.

Otherwise, if local, do it like this if you have the courage, and spend a weekend cleaning and detailing your new baby.
good advice for avoiding swirls, but at some point we all need to wash the car (or have it washed) - how to avoid them then???

Wash it yourself with a foam cannon, a good mitt, then rinse. Or two bucket method for those who live in high rises that don't have access to a hose. There are self serve car wash places that have pressure washers. The most important thing is to make sure that you rinse the mitt whenever you wipe down a section.
