ONR VS. DP-W&G Question

Easy part first. Go to your User CP, click on edit profile and the last window on that page has a place for your location.

Now, back to the problem at hand.
I know nothing about the Menzerna, but I wouldn't think their polish would have fillers that would require an IPA wipe down. Slightly off topic, but I have never done an IPA wipe down for any reason.
The "new" mitt might be suspect. What kind and was it washed before you used it?
As you know, not all mitts are the same. Mine do get very dirty with ONR or DP. I just throw my wash media in the washer after use. They do not come completely clean, but I don't have any reservations about using them even after they are stained.
As far as what to use, I have used sheepskin miitts, cotton chenille mitts, cotton chenille covered sponges, MF towels, MF mitt, sea sponge, Lowes grout sponge, Home Depot grout sponge. Cobra Bone MF covered sponge and wouldn't hesitate to use any of them again. All of them are very dirty after use and I wash them before using them again.

I'm not sure how much quicker ONR is, but it is great in the cold months and is very handy for doing a wash in the garage anytime I want, year round.

The wash process may not be the only place swirls happen: drying, IPA wipedown.

definitely not during IPA wipedown because I am literally looking at my surface with a halogen light the whole time. If I see no swirls/scratches from an IPA wipedown, there are no scratches/swirls. That's the whole point of an IPA wipedown... to see if there ARE scratches/swirls.
