Hand wash=Paint fade?

Ok I have a blk '95 and even though its beat the paint has always held up, until about 6 months ago I started hand washing my car usually every weekend ( used to go to the gas station car washes but not very frequently at all). Anyway I started noticing a big spot on my roof were the paint started fading away quick. I was using some Meguiars Crystal Car Wash that i'd had for a long time so I freaked and figured maybe it was because I was using expired shit or something.

I went out and bought some Meguiars GOLD CLASS car wash and kept on washing. But just a few days ago I cought a glimpse of my hood in the righ light and noticed the same shit is happening there now!!

Has ayone had this issue? What do you guys use? Or how do you wash?

I use a microfiber brush to wipe the car down and then I dry it with a water blade (cant ever get the damn chamois to dry it right)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also if you guy wanna share some tips or tricks to make our cars shine a little bit better go ahead and unload them here.

PS. Been searching for over an hour and didnt find jack, if there is a thread I apologize
