The swirls are only too deep if they are through to the base coat. If they are just in the clear then they are always removable.
The right pad and compound, combined with working the compound correctly will produce results. I use Menzerna 400 with a cutting pad. Start at low RPM (no 1-2) on the rotary polisher until the panel has some heat in, then go up to medium (no 5) for another 5-8 passes. By this time the compound is starting to look waxy. Then move it up to the highest setting for another 5-8 passes before working back down to the slowest speed.
My bonnet still has some orange peeling from when I re-sprayed the front end a few months ago. This weekend I'm going to sand the clear down with 4, 6, 12 and 1500 grit paper to completely flatten the lacquer. Then I'll use the above method to get it back to a mirror shine.
