Try the Mirror Glaze "professional" line of Meguire's line. There are a couple of different compounds that work well, provided you follow the instruction.
I swear by their Show Car Glaze #7 and the Carnuba #26.

I'm partial to the Adam's products, but then again....I am a dealer for Adam's!
The best way to remove swirls is with a polisher - I prefer the FLEX.

Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze Fine-Cut Cleaner #2. It comes in a 16oz bottle and it is a great all purpose paint cleaner. This is great stuff to clean the surface of your vehicle and help remove and eliminate the very fine cat like scratches and spider webbing. This polish sets the paint finish to apply a coat of wax or sealent of your choice. I would, however, use a pre-wax cleaner before you apply any wax or sealent.

Megs is a popular seller indeed, one of many great lines we carry. 105 and 205 are great polishes by machine. Ultimate Compound has a great following too.

I used only their products for a long time.
I had a swirl free Vette when I first found Adams products and now nothing but Adams products touch it, for a swirl free finish with an even better shine.

i had a ton of success with meguiars products.
Dual Action Cleaner Polish
Speed Glaze
NXT wax
a very simple combo that yielded incredible results. I only needed DACP a couple of times though. Speed Glaze on a higher setting and foam pad with a porter cable was enough for the light swirls. Otherwise it polished very well. My black mustang would look wet.
I know all about wax product wars. I'll just say I tried Zaino, and I preferred meguiars nxt liquid wax because the process was quick and didn't take a ton of effort. Half an hour to apply and wipe off a coat and it seemed to produce a lot of depth on dark colored cars.

Have used Meguiars products for years love them!! as good as any out there IMO. have done all work by hand in the past but his year I will start out with a new Meguiars DA and M205 to remove some very faint swirl marks in the black finish. I have 2 black smart pads 2 white and 1 blue which would be the best to use with the M205?? any and all opinions would be appreciated to a new power buffer user
Thanks

I love Blackfire products. I just got a Griots DA polisher and am in the process of doing a full paint correction. I have used Blackfire compound and then finish polish so far to get the paint swirl and scratch free. I used a lake Country orange pad. Tommorow I will use a white pad with some gloss enhancing polish to get the deep down wet look that Blackfire is known for. Then I will use a black pad to seal it with BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection. I will let that cure over night before I top it off with Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste by hand.Here are some pics of what it looks like when I did it by hand before I got my Orbital polisher.

I use the Blue pads for putting paint sealer and wax on.

The Blackfire line is alive and well and several updated formulas and new products will be hitting the market this week. PBMG, owner of Autogeek, purchased the line and has infused it will the resources needed to keep its faithful very happy. Pretty soon you will see an AIO type wax for those wanting one step, and a wipe on walk away (no buffing) sealant.
