I always use Poorboys Super Swirl Remover (SSR1,2,2.5) they can be applied by hand but work better if applied by machine.

they can be purchased from www.claeanandshiney.co.uk

Would be much better applied by machine.
If you do go this route then personally i would go for either of these:

Portercable or Cyclo.
They are both orbital buffers so you wont burn the paint.
The porter cable is cheaper at around £80 and the cyclo around £170.
Mind you these prices are from the states lol.

Well worth it though
