Default Swirl Problem

I dont get it, I cant get rid of swirls, they are not that bad, the car looks very shiny but once u look at it with the sun reflecting you can see the swirls.
I dont have a power porter cable.
All I have is one of those old dual action ones that has the two handles and hold like a 10inch pad thing.. (i dont use it cause i dont think its for that)

So I am doing everything by hand and no luck.
I recently tryed Zymol and no luck, made it very very wet looking but the swirls are still there..
Any suggestions.
Do I have to get a porter cable.

PC ftw. It's INCREDIBLY hard to remove swirls by hand, and not even worth the time and effort. Where do you live? Maybe someone on the forums could come over and help you, if you supply food/beverages?

have done it by hand...
to do it right takes hours and is serious pain
pain in the hands, arms and shoulders
you gotta rub and rub and rub and rub...

its worth borrowing a machine if you cant borrow one

machine, like wanabe said the hand method is so tiring and its not as effective as a machine. the machine has more impact on the paint and a longer lasting finish.
