If you have dust/dirt and apply anything, you're going to marr to swirl the surface. Not necessarily scratch, but the other two for certain. When you touch the paint, if there's any contaminants beneath you're just rubbing it in.
I had my car for over 10 years and I used a California duster on it before using the wet paint. I have had many people look at it out in the sun, shade, and every place, including Curt Scott of Cobra Country and they could not find any swirl or scratch marks. They did find the paint chips from the racing where I just touched them up with a rattle can and a toothpick, or in the case of larger ones, a small touch up brush. But being white even they didn't show up very bad. Curt Scott even complimented me on the color combination and said he hadn't seen one yet that he couldn't find some swirl marks or scratches in until then.
