None of the pics load for me. Can't tell if it's my connection or not

That's not true, I have a white car that I cut and buffed and it is swirly! I was going directly from wool with a heavy cutter to foam with polish, and under flourescent light it looked like I was getting the wool swirls out, but in the sun I found that was not at all the truth. Han's suggestion of using the same heavy compound on foam after the wool, before polish, is working well though. I think it makes up for my bad technique w/ the wool, where I put all the swirls in the first place.

I'm not entirely convinced of this as many other pros do something
similar. Minor swirls, trails, and holos should be expected after the initial
compounding with wool. On freshly cut paint.
