My car which is 1 year down the road and 20k km clocked, has bad swirl marks and spiderwebing. Under strong sunlight, it is much more visible. I HATE those scratches...sadly, this swirl is something that cannot be removed by HAND, a rotary or dual action machine is needed.
How to check for scratches? Ok, when you visit petrol station at night for refuel, under high power Halogens lamps, any fine scratches will be showing up under this exterme lightning..Or under direct sunlight, those scratches looks like round lines in circular motion.
Some of you might ask, what's swirls marks? spiderwebing effect? hologram? Here is the explanation, quote from Meguiars website

Sometimes these scratches are microscopic in size and only visible in bright light, like direct sunlight or very intense artificial lights. Other swirl marks are very deep and are easily visible in just about any lighting condition. Swirl marks can generally be placed in two categories, which describes the origin of the swirls. Cobweb-effect also called spider web scratches, car wash scratches, towel scratches etc
