| I have an obsessive compulsive disorder about the cars finish. For "me" it HAS to be perfect. I get really upset when I either leave swirl marks or cannot remove all previous swirls and/or scratches.
My wife and my assistant can vouch for how anal I can get about this. It effects me in a bad way in that I get bogged down in cars and on many cars I end up losing money. I say this to caution you all on doing exactly what the paying customer expects. Most clients do not care about swirls as much as they do about clean wheels, shiny tires windows they can see out of and a good thorough vacumming.
Also, you may be confusing swirls with marring. Swirls look like 3D holograms in the paint and are random in appearance. Marring is caused from washing and drying or dry wiping, some people call it "spider-webbing". Swirls can be light to heavy. The lighter ones can be removed with an orbital if you have the time and patience but if not then a rotary is the tool of choice.
One can remove swirls and marring with the same product but with different pad choices. Take Light Cut for instance. A great swirl remover when used with a black finishing pad. This can handle most swirls but deeper ones may need a polishing pad.
Marring can be handled with the same product, Light Cut, but a polishing pad will be needed for this as a finishing pad is to "light".
Hope that may help,
