Zaino has worked great for me.

It depends on which Zaino product you mean. If you're looking to mask them, you can use Z5. If you want to remove them, ZPC should work, but I have no personal experience with that one. To remove them, you should really get a dual action orbital polisher too, like the Porter Cable 7424.

Products I've used that will remove the swirls, as long as you use a PC7424:
Tropi-Care TC-8 (and they're a sponsor)
Menzerna Intensive Polish

You'll need to use a porter cable with the correct pads and products in order to actually remove swirl marks.

Adams is just relabelled Chemical Guys. Skip the middleman and buy direct. I'd reccomend Zaino ZPC with a LC white or orange pad. Follow with ZAIO, and ZCS.

I had alot of luck with a PC, yellow cutting pad, and Meguiars no. 83 for some tough swirls on a car I just did.

I don't see how a white pad will remove swirls. Orange, yes.

i use turtle wax ice, the paste that comes with a micro fiber towel. my car has no swirl marks and feels like butter. i usually use a second coat of a high gloss wax after the ice just to get a really deep gloss

my g/f had a black zx2 and i used the ice on it. car was black and hadnt been waxed in atleast two years, took a while doing it by hand but the swirls were gone and paint was great except for chips everywhere

Like a couple others said... Porter & Cable 7424 with an orange pad. Use 3M's fine cut rubbing compound and follow up with the 3M final glaze on a grey or white pad. Then use Zaino
