Top Down.
Remember those two words.

If hand washing, always work from the top down.
When you wash your car, usually the dirtiest parts are the lower areas of the vehicles. If you are washing your without much care, you could reconstitute a lot of the dirt accumulated in these dirty areas and end up with a lot of swirls all over the car.

And good advice on two wash mitts! Have one for the top and another for the bottom. Two wash buckets helps too, or have one with a strainer so the dirt stays at the bottom.
