I would use the BCII as it is a finisher. BCI is very agresseve and is for cut. There are a few ways to remove swirls.

1, rub in a front to rear motion by hand, using PLUM CRAZY. It is avalible at most auto paint dis.stores. It is desinged for the darker colers like blue and black. IT IS A PURPLE COLOR AND IS IN A SQUEEZ BOTTEL, COST AROUND 15-20 BUCKS IN USA. Simply rub in a fore and back motion at least 5 hevy passes,Make many passes.

2, buff with BCII and a buffer. Lay the buffers pad so it is flat against the paint and buff many passes, than move to another spot and repeat with many passes.
Dont push down on buffer when buffing, but kinda lift upwards so the center of the pad is barly in contact with the paint.
Keep the pad level with the surface as your working. Swirls are from when a person angels the buffer and uses the outer edge of pad. I buff in the sun light so I can see the swirls as I cutting and can see them dissapier as im maken many light passes.
