#5 New Car Glaze
#5 New Car Glaze is a non-abrasive pure polish formulated to dry in humid climates. Unlike it's cousin #7, #5 New Car Glaze dries quickly and turns white. It contains no ingredients with the intended purpose of abrading paint.
If #5 New Car Glaze is removing swirls in your paint, then chances are high that it is acting as a lubricant while your application material is actually abrading the finish and upon wipe-off, the polishing oils are filling in what remains.
Because it dries, it tends to not make for a very good machine applied product because any heat generated while using it will tend to make it try to dry even faster.
But what the heck... if it's working for you, go for it, it's just there a much better products like a cleaner/polish like #9, #82, #80, #83 that are more suited for defect removal by machine.
By the way, #5 New Car Glaze is a product that came out in the 1950's for single stage acrylic lacquer and enamel paints, but you can use it on modern paints if you like.
I'm looking at the directions on an older bottle from the 1980's and the directions say in bold letters,
For hand application only
