Default Removing swirls on window visors!!

Any pro detail know what I need to do to remove swirls on window visors? I believe material is plastic or acrylic. Does Meguiar's #105 with a cutting pad work?

I use Klasse AIO on the JDM visors. It definitely makes them look better for a while. Haven't tried anything else.

M105 would be quite heavy. As plastic is generally a lot softer than paint, a light polish with light finishing pad should be able to do the trick in one go

Update: Swirl removal on Lexus OEM JDM Visors for Lexus ISx50.

I used,

- Meguiar's #205 Ultra Finishing Polish
- Lake Country 4" Orange Mild Cutting Pad
- Porter Cable 7424XP

I was able to completely removed all 'light' swirls built up over 2 years, used a PC 7424XP on speed 4 with a LC orange pad with Meguiar's #205. Did only 2 passes.

Visors looking like NEW again!
