Swirls, whast is next after Meguiars Ultimate Compound
My car has a black spoiler.
It has some swirl marks.
I tried Meguiar's Swirlx by hand with no luck.
I then tried Ultimate Compound by hand with no luck (still have the swirls)
So going from least aggressive to more aggressive, what is my next step?

do you own a (DA) polisher?

No, I own which I think is less aggressive an orbital, but am considering buying a DA at some point.

Re: Swirls, whast is next after Meguiars Ultimate Compound
getting consistent/good results by hand is going to be tough, i would suggest purchasing a DA. it will not only give you better and more uniformed results, your hands won't be tired/sore because you let the machine do all the work for you...

Staying within Meguiar’s SMAT products:
•M95 Speed Cut Compound; then:
•M105 Ultra Cut Compound

Try Ultimate Compound with that thing. It sure beats using your hands.
Most retailers sell microfiber or terrycloth bonnets. I'd get microfiber. Lightly prime the bonnet, and start working. Technique is important with those machines. I have a Ryobi that actually has good power. Never a first choice tool, but in a situation like yours, I'd absolutely make use of it over hand application.

SwirlX and UC will get through it, but nearly impossible by hand. If you're really frugal, the Harbor Freight Palm Polisher will work, with a terry cloth bonnet, it will just take a while. I think the HF Palm is $13 right now.
Microfiber won't go through it.

What kind of applicator were you using by hand?
