Best product for swirl marks?
Discussion
Check out Detailers & their advice on this Forum & elsewhere. You may need their services to use a machine polisher or DIYT.
Polish will NOT remove swirls, it will merely 'polish' them!!
Something with a slight cutting compound is required, then you polish - this is grossly simplified.
I'm no professional but on a black car that was slightly swirled I used & re-use Zxmol applied with horizontal & vertical strokes. This was followed by Poorboys Black Hole, THEN I applied a polish, either Autoglym or old fashioned Simoniz. Topping up with Turtlewax Black Detailer maintains a good wet-look finish, sufficient to impress the staff at a main dealer when I took car for service this week.

Thanks for the replies. The car is only a gen 3.5 Hyundai Coupe in blue, its not valuable enough to spend money on a full detailing by a pro.
I've clay barred it and i use Meguiars Carbuna wax but i've never used a polish on it, so if super resin hides the swirls i'll be happy.
Paint looks like this, (view full screen and you can see them clearly). Hyundai paint isnt the best:
