My NM dealer put a Deep Seal Protectant on my 2000 Maxima GLE yet the paint is showing scratches & swirl marks. Any suggestions?

Yes, first

...no automatic car washes!!! Second, when you wash or wax yourself, DO NOT USE A CIRCULAR MOTION!!! That is why you see the swirls! Use a front to back LINEAR motion when you wash, dry or wax your car. The linear marks are not as visable from all angles, so you wont get the "swirl effect". Finally, a powered car buffing machine should only be used by professionals when necessary, when extreme work (read body repairs) is being done.
