Default scratch & swirls on my black M50 after washing

hey guys...

this is my 1st post after months of wondering around and absorbing all the info. Well, last week I purchased my black m50 and put about 300 miles under my belt. Today since it was a week old i decided to give the bike her 1st wash. I washed her with turtle wax car soap and finished off with a wax. After washing and drying (dried w/ terry-cloth) her down i noticed light scratches and swirly marks on the tank, which is really annoying after the 1st week. Seems like i scratched into the clear coat. I goggled this topic and it seems like its very common on black cars/bikes etc. I noticed there is a ton of products for swirl and scratch removal.

Does anyone know which is the best ??

Thanks!!
