By hand, I think you could dull the swirls but not eliminate them. You would have to break out the rotary and polish the clearcoat. I didn't want to try polishing my car just yet. It's risky business if you don't know what you're doing. I'll try it after I've practiced on some scrap panels.

I really hope you get pics of the Daytona grey colour!
