    Have you tried a G3 pad with some polish to start with see if that makes any difference if not try G3 scratch remover with a wet polishing pad that should take out scratches or swirls ..
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Rotary polisher with a finishing polish usually takes them out for me. However they are quite fragile and can burn so need to proceed with caution if doing them with a rotary.

    I wouldnt worry too much though about keeping them swirl free, they are very easily marked.
    I usually machine mine a couple times a year then after they have been gently washed a couple times there are small swirls appearing again.
