another vote for meguiars scratch x 2.0 for removing swirl marks.

had to do 2 coats of it today to get out a winter's worth of swirl marks from the bike sittin under blankets at the shop.

followed up the scratch remover with meguiars tech wax 2.0 and the finish is amazing. deep, wet, mirror like shine.

 

Give this a try. I have used this on many car finishes as my bike is denim and it is a no no for denim paint. It removes siwrls and leaves a high gloss shine. You will need to use a rotory or orbital polisher and not by hand. Here is the link. This is a high end polish.

Scratches/Swirls always seem worse than they really are with clearcoat.

You only have so much clearcoat so yes go with least abrasive FIRST .

Another thing you have to think about is how are the scratches getting on there in the first place?

Keep your polishing cloths ect in a plastic garbage bag to keep any wind born dust off of them.

 

Vivid black. Good guess. I love black, but it shows every speck of dust.

 

I'm not sure how the swirls are getting there. It's very minor, but I notice it. We have LOTS of airborne dust here. It sucks having a black bike in this area. All I've used is Pig Snot and Harley Gloss. It doesn't take long for a thin film of dust to build, and I'm guessing that's what happened during a polishing. Thanks for the advice on storing the cloths in a bag. I've had them in the open, and that's probably contributing to the problem.
