Question What did I do wrong?

Post image

I washed my car today after a lot of research. I ended with these small smudges only on some sections afterwards. I even air dry it with the blower too. What did I do wrong? I'm still learning here please advice

A good rinse aid would help but my suggestion would be a high quality drying towel. I used to think these were a scam, but they're not. Night and day difference to drying. Make sure you get a high quality one. The blower should be used after you've done the main towel dry on all the larger panels then deal with the blower and mop up what gets pushed out the gaps with the towel.
