Because its not really a swirl "remover" it more or less just fills them in and after a couple of wash's it gone,if i was you i would look into some poorboys SSR2 go here and check it out http://www.poorboysworld.com/super-swirl-removers.htm

I had the same problem when I waxed it by hand. My friend let me borrow his buffer and a can of mothers wax and all my swirl marks went away.

You can use a buffer but you gotta know how to use one. If you dont use it right your gonna have more than just swirls.

get the car wet sanded, then dont use the paste wax, use the spray on wax that u take off right away, it kept my 91 gorgeous.-perhaps what ever your doing is not the proper way, especially using a orbiter, be careful, good luck[:@]
