Default Rubbing out swirls in paint

I was thinking of rubbing and buffing out some scratches from over the years of wiping it down with mist and shine.


A few weeks ago I thought I would practice on one of the work trucks that normally gets washed a few times a week that about a year old. I used the clay bar on everything with Mist and Shine. After that was done, I got out a white 3M waffle pad and went over it with some white Finesse It, washed it down, then black waffle with machine glaze and then some more Wizzards glaze. To do all of this, I humped at it and spent a good 10-12 hours at it with my Snapon 7/9 inch buffer. Now it has its fair share of swirl marks all over it.


Last week I see that Mequires has an orbital buffer and a 2 or 3 step package that will take care of all the light scratches and swirl marks. Has anyone used this? Did it really work?

Or do I need to buff out 100-200 cars again to get the hang of it with my 3M-Wizards combo?
