Has Touchless High Press Car wash ever hurt your Paintjob??
I think it did mine..it actually swirled my clear coat on my spoiler and both sides of the C-pillar...just one straight down...I didn't think touchless wash would do that 
Shuddup...it's noticed it at night when you can see the seen of the car

Maybe you just notice it now, when the car roll off the truck, Im sure
the dealership washed your car when doing the PDI. Some of them might not have a touchless car wash, and ran your car into a brush car wash, Or they might have just hand washed it, and did a poor job of pre rinse the dirt off the car from the long
trip at thePort to your dealership.

A touchless car was cant make swirl marks on a paint job. Swirl marks are from dirt being on the paint, and using a wash cloth, sponge, or whatever on it. You are actually scratching the paint by rubbing dirt into the paint. Touchless wont do that

EDIT: High-Pressure touch free? So it just sprays the hell out of your car with water and a soapy mixture? I haven't seen anything like that before, sounds interesting. If thats so, disregard what I say below.
Washing your car with anything short of merely rinsing it off will put swirls in. Fine, at that mostly, but there all the same. There is no washing/drying technique that isn't going to put at least a few "swirls" in the paint. Thats just how life works with clear coat.
