may I ask what product you used to remove the swirls?
I assume you used the product with a power buffer, then wiped it off with a towel, Right?

Thumbs up Super Clean

I like to see all the right things done to effect a proper correction... proper tape masking, plate removal ect... . I have not been fond of the purple foamed wool pads as they can cause deep holograms,however maybe they work better with Menzerna compounds and polishes which I no longer use all the same this car looks great!!.
