Tropi-care has a line of pads that will work great with the PC for the swirls/scratches. I use the orange pad with the swirl cutter and follow up with the blue finishing pad and polish. Depending on how bad the swirls and scratches are you might reach the limitations of the PC. You also might be able to find some pads locally. Some of the stores here stock a few of the Meguires pads. Where are you located??
