just got it back from the shop!
got my car back from the shop today and it was lookin sweet 
paint was new (in the front end) and i had new silverstars in there so i was pretty happy. i take it home and notice a SHIT load of dust ontop of my new hood so i take out my softest towel and get that shit off and i notice the towel made marks on the hood. they looks kinda like swirl marks but only went one direction. so im kinda worried now? will those buff out? cuz currently there is no wax on the hood and i cant wax it for like 40 days.

I'd take it STRAIGHT back to the shop and let them explain what's up with your paint, don't ask here

YIKES! take it back! i did the same when i went to get my rear bumper repainted, he just assumed i wanted him to paint around my safety check sticker (dumbass), so it looked all bumpy around the corners. 
but you paid for it, so get your monies worth. good luck!

What kinda towel did you use? Please tell me it was a microfiber, I'm guessing it wasn't since your brand new paint is swirled

jus take the car back.
they cant say shit to u, its part of the unwritten law of the good body shops.
unhappy customer = bad rep for shop.
dont worry, they'll wheel it out for you.

Whatever you do, dont let them know that you think you fucked it up. Make them think it was their fault. Cause if you admit blame, they probably wont do shit.
