Yup, that’s why I said a “minor version” of what we’re looking at in the pic, because anything that severe would most likely only occur with an aggressive clay mitt, but a much minor version of it could occur if someone were to improperly wash their vehicle with a sponge in an aggressive manor, worst case scenario.

Google images.
IMO if someone causes anything that looks like a minor version of the pic, then they don’t know how to wash a vehicle.
Either ways, if you’re marring the paint from washing & drying the vehicle it’s more than likely human error i.e. Bad technique, bad wash media, poor drying towels.

Re: Can someone explain “wash induced marring”?
I ordered 8 Griots Garage microfiber wash pads.
I don't like cuffs and always cut them off. I sure am not going to put my hand in them.
I should be good to go along with my other pads and mitts

Let us know what you think of them. Seems like a quality wash pad but not very much has been said about them.

I have the Griot's wash mop kit. The heads are the same MF as the wash pads. Super soft, extra-long "fingers" and seem durable.
Nothing light years ahead of the pack, but I like them a lot.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Does that kit come with a rectangular bucket to dip the wash mop?

Not mine. I just ordered the mop (comes w/ 2 heads) and 2 additional heads.
The pivot action makes it easy to just dunk in a bucket.

Re: Can someone explain “wash induced marring”?
For me it doesn't matter how I wash my personal car,,,because I live on a dirt road everthing thing from the door handles down sticks to the finisr and now that it's winter add salt into that mix.
I go to coin op car wash and blast as much of it that will come off and themn then use a few mitts and buckets but it still scratches,,,but then again it's a Honda and they scratch if you look at them funny.
as long as it's only a little dusty it stays pretty scratch free with a little care but as soon as mud and snow season starts it takes a beating

will do.
I got a free one from Autogeek during a Christmas purchase a couple years ago and for the life of me couldn't find it after.
Well I couldn't find any that were reasonably priced and decent web appeal any other places
I bought 4, 2 packs at $15 apiece. That's reasonable.
I think the amazon folks had them for $6 more per set.
I explained to the kids tonight while washing my daughters car, the future new method of no more rinse bucket.
Big approval on the lotsa pads.
