Yeah if you have swirls from previous owner, only a good buffing session with a DA or rotary will get that out. You can do it by hand, but that would take you forever, and your arm would fall off  Once you get the paint completely perfect and swirl-free, you must KEEP it that way. How? Proper washing and drying techniques... and careful use of MF Towels if detail spraying. Lesson is, the less you touch your paint, the better off it is. If you DO have to touch, make sure the material you are using to touch the paint is soft, clean, and free of any contaminants. Wipe in one direction only! Downward for vertical panels, and away from the car on horizontal panels. Read this thread of mine from autogeek for some more pointers. Do your swirls look like my "before" shots??? 2009 Odyssey, spring detail - Auto Geek Online Auto Detailing Forum
