So I've had my PC since the earlier part of the year and I just can't seem to get out swirls!
I mean, it makes it a lot glossier, but in the halogens or direct sunlight they're all still there it seems. Almost like it didn't help at all.

I'm using an LC Orange foam pad
I've tried Megs #1, #2, and their swirl remover, along with TC Swirl Cutter...

I go over a 2x2 area on speed 1 to spread the polish.
Then I turn it up to 4 or 5 and make up down followed by side-side motions across the area.
I try to go up/down, side/side, up/down, then side/side again.
I try to cover about 2-3 inches per second working slowly.

Wrong pad?
Wrong polish?
Wrong motions across the paint?
Wrong user

???

Any pointers would be a help. The tropicare swirl cutter recommends the orange pad and says to do it just like I'm doing... Just isn't removing swirls, nor is the Megs...
