Mm swirls. It takes 6x the effort by hand and the results won't compare. Good quality random orbital and compound/polish is the only way to go to really get rid of them, and you should use a clay bar with quick detailer for lubing the surface and wiping all of this off with a decent quality microfiber cloth. All after washing the car then drying it with a waffle weave towel :<

Go to You tube and lookup junkman2000. He is, by far, the foremost expert on removing swirl marks with the porter cable and the wash techniques to keep them off!!!!
