If it is truely bothering you then yes, I would try OP again. You make it sound like they are really mild, though, and there is no reason to remove more paint just for a few mild swirls. Have you considered using a product with fillers?

the mistake with alot of first time pc users is you need to work the polish/compound with very firm pressure with slow overlapping passes in different directions (up/down/side to side/horizontal). sometimes a few passes are needed (different car makes play a role too, as some clears are softer/harder than others)...
