I've never been able to get all the swirls out by hand, or by my Porter Cable random orbital, using all sorts of compounds. At least not on large areas. On smaller areas, or on horizontal panels, can get close, but I could never get it done to my satisfaction on large, horizontal panel, like the hood and roof.

At least not on the cars I've done, which have been black and other dark colors.

The little touchup that I did recently, as referenced above, was on two stage silver, and I was surprised how easy it was to get the little spots shiny again. I suspect if it were black, though, I'd still see the swirls.

Going by hand or with a random orbital is always worth a try, though.
