There is no reason whatever for a brand new vehicle to have anything other than swirl-free paint.

FWIW, I'd ***NEVER*** trust myself with a rotary!!! And I'd never let anyone other than a SEASONED PROFESSIONAL DETAILER with YEARS OF EXPERIENCE in a reputable, established brick-n-mortor automotive detail speciality business use a rotary on my new car...

I hate to inform you that your new car comes with swirls because Johnny that does the detailing for ABC Dealership doesn't know any better. Asking for them to be fixed is going to cause more problems.

But I would go with a random orbital (dual action). The Porter Cable 7424 being the one of choice. Lake country pads from top of the line, and you're all set. It is nearly impossible to ruin the paint with one (unless you use some weird polish, but that's another story...).

And that last statement is kind of right kind of wrong. Out of the detailers I know, the 3 of the 5 best, I would say, are mobile.
