swirl marks

I have been using turtle wax ultra gloss the paste version for some time. I wax it manually, with no power tools. however, everytime i think i did a good job, when something bright hits the paint (sun/headlights of other car) i can see a lot of swirl marks. No matter how hard i try to buff the wax off its still there.

Should i invest in some power tools? or should i try liquid wax instead? how can i get rid of these?

I believe polishing removes swirl marks.

You need to polish your paint. Wax cannot fix swirls. Polish fixes swirls. Think of polish like liquid sand paper. It cleans and smooths out your paint. Wax only protects and adds gloss.

You need to get in on our PC7424 Buffer Group Buy. The deadline is today.
