have a look at all the other threads about this.

The best way to get rid of the paint defects you are talking about is by purchasing a porter cable polisher 7424 from autopia.

These buffers for £15-30 dont do anything in terms of defect and swirl removal.

You could by ssr 2 or ssr1 and try by hand on the swirls but it would take a long time to get there if you got rid of them at all!!

To remove swirls and fine scratches by hand is hard, hard work, but Menzerna Intensive Polish via the white side of a German Applicator Pad is the way to go. It is worth buying a PC 7424 if you really want to get into your car care, but granted £150-£200 isn't cheap through. It's all down to what you want to achieve - perfection costs money, and requires a machine. A good job can be achieved by hand, and costs less.
