Can anyone recommend a product to help remove or reduce swirl marks by hand?

Read about Meguiars scratch x but I wouldn't mind some help from those in the know!

Cheers

As for swirl removal by hand. Don't do it! For the hard VAG paint you will need a machine polisher, preferably a rotary one, with some hefty compound and pad to go with. Otherwise you will just end up wasting your time and developing a repetitive strain injury.

Another vote for Gtechniq P1 if you insist on doing it by hand. You will take weeks to do it and end up with arms like popeye. I have a DAS6 pro machine polisher which is pretty cheap and works a treat.

ArildStavrum:
Thanks all. I got myself some p1 and will give it a go on Sunday.

I'm not sure I would trust myself with a machine polisher although the one suggested does look good value.

I assume it would need a different product or products if using a machine polisher?

Clarkey:
I'm sure you will improve and be happy with the outcome by hand. I use Meg's 105 and 205 with machine polisher on hex pads.
Post some before and after pics if you have time.

I used autoglym srp then a coat of poor boys black hole glaze , as mentioned above a machine polisher really is the best way. I don't have one so I got my car detailed professionally as like yourself I didn't really feel confident enough.

This was my result from autoglym srp and poor boys black hole. I did give it two coats of collinite 476 for protection after
