you are very limited to how much swirl correction you will be able to do by hand.

your best bet is probably the meguiars 3 stage polishing system, i would strongly advise that you clay the paint before polishing.

if you are after brilliant swirl free results then i would say get in touch with someone like,

Wayne or Predator_vtr, i believe they offer a machine polishing service

Go on Detailing World and do a search for 'removing swirls by hand', there's a good thread on there about it.

Autoglym Super Resin Polish was rated highly IIRC.

AG SRP followed by AG extra gloss protection and/or HD wax, or meguiars 3 stage.

But if you can have it machine polished, the finish that can be achieved is alot better than by hand
