Dnt go to far...u dnt need a compound for light swirls..meguairs ultimate polish applied nice and carefuly with a polisher removes em v nicely. Use cmpound where u thnk a polish wnt be enough...and that to a reputed 1 such as meguairs ultimate compound. For now since you have aplied cmpound n al d, dnt apply anything on your car, except for a good wax and maintain it . Thnk abt removing the swirls after 6 mnths or so
