get rid of swirls?
i use p21s wax that supposedly gets rid of hairline scratches, but I can still see swirls
even using the polish that came with the p21s kit didn't work either.
how can i get rid of these swirls? I don't think they are that deep since I can only see them in bright sunlight

Re: then search on "swirls" lots of products to choose from, what you mentioned wont do it
Machine Polish (Compound) Application:
Depending on the types of surface abrasions you're dealing with, increase speed and pressure as necessary. Just remember that more speed plus more pressure equals more aggressive, so be careful around ridges and raised surfaces
Maintain the same pressure and work the product in, it may take three or four passes to complete before the residue can be removed. Once you see the desired results move on to the next area, or repeat the process as necessary.
Methodology
*Evenly apply the product to the foam pad (not the paint surface) and then move the pad on the paint film surface to further distribute product..
*Use polishing foam (or cutting foam, but only if surface requires it) at speed# 5 or 6.
*Without lifting the machine from the paint film surface, adjust the speed wheel and turn the machine on.
*Draw an imaginary square two-foot by two foot (less on smaller panels)
*Start on the upper left hand side of the imaginary square
*Applying the product to the right, when you've reached the outer edge of the imaginary square, drop down and precede right to left, drop down and precede left to right, etc
*Work the polish until `almost' dry or when it changes to a thin, clear liquid (its unnecessary to use until it becomes a powder or is completely dissipated)
*As with all car care products use very little product and keep foam pad well lubricated (distilled water spray)
*Apply Machine Polish at the rate of approximately 0.5 to 1.0-inch per second.
*When the `cross-hatched square' is completed then move to another area and proceed, overlapping the preceding square to ensure complete coverage.
*3M<sup>TM</sup> Perfect-It<sup>TM</sup> III Rubbing Compound (05933) should remove most of the surface imperfections
*Follow with 3M<sup>TM</sup> Perfect-It<sup>TM</sup> III Machine Glaze (05937) once you are satisfied with the finish (or its as good as you think you can get it) this will remove any surface marring left by the (05933) polish.
*Turn off the machine while it's still in contact with the paint film surface, if you worked in the product there should be little or no residue.
*Remove any remaining residue with 100% cotton Alpine DF Micro fibre towel and water
*Use an appropriate machine polish, 3M<sup>TM</sup> Perfect-It<sup>TM</sup> III has only been cited as an example.
