3M Makes an excellent polishing system from their trizact discs to the swirl remover. My favorite portion of this system is:

300 Trizact Discs -  I always finish my sanding with the 3000 discs to make less work for the buffer.

Waffle Pads - I am not a fan of the wool pad, my favorite method is using the white waffle pad with coarse compounds and the black waffle with finer compounds/glaze.

Cutting Creme -  Depends on the mood I'm in, for bigger jobs I' usually use the cutting creme first.

Rubbing Compound - I like this to go over the cutting creme or by itself.

Swirl Remover - Then finish them off with the black waffle pad & some swirl remover.

 Now, on some solid colors the blue pad in conjuction with the Ultrafina can elimate those stubborn swirls. I know a lot of people like to burry the job in wax , temporarly hiding the problem. This way takes care of it for good. 

Like all 3M products they carry a higher price tag, but this is a good polishing system that won't let you down.
