Removing swirls with a chemical polish

My L5-S1 is killing me!
Anyone else do this much? Seems like everyone goes right to an abrasive instead.:huh

Recently I've been doing some rotary work with IP/polish pad and then a chemical polish like Adam's Revive on a finish pad. I usually get 1/2 circle swirls from the IP but the Revive takes them right out. Does anyone see a reason to use another abrasive like FPII instead of a chemical polish? I assume the Revive was acting like a lube and the finish pad was actuially doing the cutting (on a rotary even a finish pad makes heat)
 
I never even gave it a try, I just always assumed that mechanical polishes were needed to remove any scratches in the clear. I have a white Grand Prix GT this weekend that'll need some IP, I'll give ProPolish a shot to remove the slight marring left from the IP.
 
I have used Adam's Revive with a Sonus polish pad. While I was not using it for swirl removal, I did notice that it removed some very minor marring. I think if you had a finish in good condition this would be a very plausible way to remove marring, but on most finishes, using a straight chemical polish with a PC just is not going to cut it. It would take more time than I'm willing to put into it - unless it's my personal vehicle of course.
 
Revive I hear does have some marring removal ability. SO would add in the scratch removal.
 
Well, I was speaking strictly for rotary use, that way the pad does more work that the polish I think...
