Need help: Polishing and Buffing paint (removing swirls/oxidation) 200 1987

Don't take this the wrong way please.
swirls are when people use the edge of a whool pad.
wax has three ingredients 1,a wax 2,a lubrecant 3,a grit. when the pad spins the heavy grit is forced outward. The lubricant is the lightest so it stays in the center of the spinning pad and the inbetween heavy and light is the wax witch flings to the middel part of pad.

So when people angle the buffer, the grit being at the outer part of pad heats up the paint and the paint gets soft and the wool fibers leave little scratches since the lub and wax is not there to protect against the heat.

Kinda hard to explain.
