Adams swirl remover?

So im over at the Adams website and Im a little confused as to what product can help me with removing swirl marks. I know they have the PC but I was looking for something that can be done by hand. So just a little help as to what product can be good for this and it doesnt have to be Adams just something that helps. Ive tried the Maguiers SwirlX and didnt have good results.

also tried swirlX and it only helped maybe slightly. Also was a huge pain to apply because it's not like waxing where you just apply to the whole car and then wipe off you have to do little 2x2 areas at once and then wipe it off immediately. annoying.

If you are serious about eliminating swirls and mirror finish you will have to do it with the pc. It is expensive for buffer and pads, but it really is the only way. Trying to do by hand just doesn't work worth a damn, no matter what product you try in my experience. Expect to spend some time, all day, to do it too. Junkman videos are very good. It is worth it, you will be amazed. There really is almost no way to screw up with a pc, todays hook and loop pads and modern swirl removers. Adams even color matches pads and product for no guesswork.

I know the pc would be the perfect solution I was just looking for something wayy cheaper and by hand. so a quick question all Adams products are only for pc use I cant use them by hand?

Simply put, you can't remove swirls by hand.
