Swirls can only be fixed by polishing. Polish repairs and cleans. Wax protects and shines.

Check the detailing forum, and this sticky http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t126955.html

You need to get a porter cable polisher and some fine cut polish, then do the 3 step meguires polish. After you do that wash it every week or 2 and spray it down with some meguires quick detailer.

Do alot of reading before you pick up a buffer. After that you wont know what you did without one. pad selection and polish can be tricky sometimes

Does it really have to be about a lift or a pick my wheels thread?

I love my Porter Cable 7424, I don't know what I ever did without it. Buffers are really nice but you'll be spending an arm and a leg on foam pads.
