So I have a Saab 9000 Aero (Black and tinted). I bought this car and it was heavily oxidized and have swirls all over it. I thought the car would have to be repainted but a body shop buffing the car out out, it is now at a level that is typical of many cars. I have also used Meguiars DC system by hand to help as well.
I have a Chicago Rotary Buffer, HiBuff Pads (Red Heavy Cut, Orange Medium Cut, Green Soft Polish). A Porter Cable with LC pads (orange, yellow, black, white). I have Meguiars DC steps 1 - 3, Malco TruGrit Rubbing Compound, Mothers Power Polish, XMT fine swirl remover?, Klasse AIO, Klasse Glaze?(red bottle).
My point being is that, no matter what product I use on my car, I cant get the swirls out. The only thing I can do is make the car very shiny which is good from 5 foot away but in the sunlight, you can see the swirls despite the shiny paint.
I have watched many videos on how to you the hardware and products but I cant seems to have any luck by hand, PC, or even the rotary.
I do notice that when I use the the rotary, I dont even get any black paint on the pad. Maybe the pad absorbs the product too fast or I am not using enough polish?? I do work in just one section at a time as I have read and use a small bead of product. I try not to apply much pressure to the machines.
If anyone has an insight or suggestions, please let me know. At this point I have spent soo much money on everything and would really like to see some results as I do with many post on here.
Please, any and all help is appreciated!!!

Pics of the current condition of the paint will follow once I learn how to upload them on this forum..
