Question Good swirl remover?

I have noticed a number of swirl marks and light scratches. I was wondering what everyone recomends for a good (easy to use ) swirl remover. I have an orbital polisher if that helps.

The best I have used is the #M Swirl Mark Remover. You can use it by hand or Machine. Great Stuff.

A good polish, use a osculating buffer /w a good pad. Remember cars now days last a long time much longer then before and you want to make your paint last as long so take it easy on removing some of your clear coat, just take off what is needed. Use the right polish for the job try to void the heaver cut polishes/compounds if you have to. Don't let advertising on the bottle influence you! knowledge is power.
When you have taking out the swirls/light scratches apply a good wax or sealer (two coats), learn how to avoid swirls...... swirls comes in part by ether by washing, using the wrong pad, polish, drying, writing on the paint "washing me"
Best way to help void swirls is by protecting your paint by applying two coats of wax or sealer and use a good car washing soap (acts as a lubricant) but rinse real good with water first /w a good wash pad.
Dark colored paint shows swirls the most.
Have your car/truck done by a professorial Detailer, you would be surprised how much knowledge they have and how much a better job they can do or go talk to one.
ford-trucks.com has great infor on taking care of your Ford but hardly nothing on "how to" on taking care of your paint.
